Organic Coatings Third Edition is thoroughly up to date with the latest organic coatings technology!
Organic Coatings, Third Edition covers:
- key principles of coatings
- raw materials
- physical concepts
- formulations
- applications
This Third Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect numerous changes in the field, including changes driven by increasing pressure to lower VOC emissions, reduce energy requirements, and eliminate potential health hazards from organic coatings components.
New material has been developed to make the text more accessible for scientists and engineers first entering the field, as well as for students taking coatings courses. At the same time, the hallmarks that distinguished the two previous editions have been retained, including:
- Troubleshooting guidance for coatings scientists and technologists
- Clear differentiation between established principles and hypotheses requiring further research
- Precise definitions of coatings industry terminology
- Extensive references to the current literature
- Hundreds of figures that help readers visualize key concepts and techniques
