This updated edition discusses underlying theory, while presenting a wealth of practical information.
It also introduces state of the art developments and cutting-edge proposals. The book offers an easy
to read account of the principles involved in the optical properties of paints, covering both the
physical and aesthetic aspects of opacity and color, and discussing in detail the physics of paint and the
physical chemistry of dispersions. It also reviews the polymer chemistry of all common paint binders
and the technology of pigment use.
The second edition of Paint and Surface Coatings: Theory and
Practice includes extensive discussions of organic film formers, paint pigments, architectural coatings (which are examined from the
standpoint of substrate requirements), automotive OEM and refinish paints, the use of computers in the
paint industry, and health and safety considerations.
From the Preface: “...I believe this resulting new edition will provide a useful text for those wishing
to explore various aspects of paint technology and its underlying science, whilst its literature
references will provide a useful start to the study of any particular aspect of that technology...”
Target Audience: Everyone in the paint industry — raw material suppliers, manufacturers,
consultants, paint users, and students.
