This third edition serves as an all-in-one guide to the entire field of coatings technology. It covers
a diverse range of topics — from basic concepts through coating types, materials, processes, testing,
and applications — summarizing both the latest developments and standard coatings methods.
This completely updated and revised edition of
The Coatings Technology Handbook examines new
materials, such as fluorocarbon resins, polyurethane thickeners, and high temperature pigments;
reviews recent testing methods such as infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, weathering, and cure
monitoring; extensively details a variety of contemporary processes such as flexography, electroless
plating, flame surface treatment, embossing, and calendering; analyzes current materials and surface
coatings from resins and thermoplastic elsatomers to peelable medical, radiation-cured, leather, and
metal coatings; and more. Highly recommended.
From the Preface: “...This book is directed at supplying a broad cross-index of some of the
different aspects [of coatings technology] to help the technical person. It is not meant to be an in-depth
treatise on any subject. It is meant to give insight into the various subjects covered...Each section
contains information to expand the awareness and knowledge of someone practicing in the field. The
objective is to help people solve problems and increase their level of technology...”
Target Audience: Materials, coatings, and surface scientists; ceramic, mechanical, chemical,
plastics, corrosion, and surface engineers; and upper-level students in these fields.
