This single-source reference covers a variety of specific coatings and solid sheet and liquid applied linings, focusing on surface preparation, installation, and application. Physical, mechanical, and corrosion resistance properties, as well as appropriate areas of application, are provided for each of the materials discussed.

Corrosion-Resistant Linings and Costings compares and contrasts the advanages and disadvantages of individual linings and coatings. It assesses polyester, acrylic, and urethane coatings that offer atmospheric protection; explains phenolics, epoxies, furans, and vinyl esters; evaluates polyester, perfluoroelastomers, and fluoroelastomers; discusses coalescence, sagging and slumping, leveling, and adhesion; analyzes organic, metallic, and monolithic coatings and paints for concrete; and more.

From the Preface: “Although many corrosion-resistant metals and alloys are available, they do not always represent the most practical or economical means to combat corrosion. In many situations, it is better to select a less resistant material and provide some type of coating or lining to protect it from corrosion...This book provides a thorough introduction to the various types of linings and coatings that can be used to provide corrosion resistance...”

Target Audience: Materials, chemical, mechanical, corrosion, industrial, civil, project, plant, and maintenance engineers; surface chemists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
