Drawing from the third edition of
The Coatings Technology Handbook, this text focuses entirely on
testing, experimental design, and strategies for selecting processing techniques in the coatings,
adhesives, paints, and inks industries. The book presents the latest coating and processing methods capable
of satisfying increasingly precise, application-specific requirements. It contains analytical techniques
used to elucidate surface chemistry, adhesion, and other physical properties. It also presents
practical methods, such as accelerated light stability tests, for comparing the resistance of different materials
to wear, UV light and fading, and weathering.
From the Preface: “...Each industry has its own use for coatings and inks. Based on the substrate,
each industry has a different approach or method of applying the materials to the substrate. The
application method dictates the physical and chemical properties used. Variations are even seen in one
industry between applying equipment. The direction of this book is to acquaint the reader with some of
the many aspects of the coating and inks industries. When you know the fundamentals of testing
and processing techniques, you can adapt to most situations.”
Target Audience: Materials, coatings, and surface scientists; chemists; chemical, plastics,
corrosion, adhesion, and surface engineers; and upper-level students in these fields.
