Coatings Technology OFFERING AN EXTENSIVE SERIES OF TEXTBOOKS ¨ Vincentz Network and the American Coatings Association have collaborated to make the world of coatings technology more accessible to you. With brand new titles and new editions of textbooks on coatings technology, we have a program that is de- signed for both specialists as well as newcomers to the field of coatings. A selection of available titles is presented below. EUROPEAN COATINGS HANDBOOK
SERVICE
The 2nd edition of the handbook covers
the entire spectrum of coatings formulation in a single volume. It contains a
practice-related structure from chemistry to process engineering, from safety
and health to quality control and regulatory issues necessary for today’s manufacture and application of coatings. The
handbook’s topicality in all aspects of
coatings composition, application methodology, quality assurance, environment
and industrial health, and safety is highly
useful.
Prof. Jamil Baghdachi: "This book is a
comprehensive and valuable reference
source, since it discusses major areas
such as raw materials and fundamental
chemistries and properties, coatings
technologies, characterization and test-
ing, as well as health and safety issues.
This book is highly recommended for
both new entries and current personnel
in coatings and paint industry and for
those who need a comprehensive, easy-
to-read reference work. "
FUNCTIONAL COATINGS
Coatings are mainly applied on surfaces
for decorative, protective, or functional
purposes, but in most cases it is a combi-
nation of these. Functional coatings pos-
sess, besides the traditional properties
of a coating, an additional functionality.
This additional functionality may be di-
verse, and depend upon the actual ap-
plication. Typical examples of functional
coatings are easy-to-clean, self-cleaning,
anti-graffiti, anti-fingerprinting, anti-
fouling, soft feel, antibacterial, anti-ice,
anti-fogging etc. This book provides an
overview on functional coatings and the
principles on which they are based.
ANTICORROSIVE COATINGS
Consciously departing from physics-based corrosion literature, this volume
presents one of the very few coatings-specific approaches. This book presents
the latest insights into the quality and
chemistry of anticorrosive surfaces, the
proper way to prepare them by conversion treatment, the function of resins and
anticorrosion pigments in paints, and
novel concepts in corrosion protection.
As an added bonus, all the standards
and directives mentioned in the text are
grouped together in their own chapter for
a better overview.
