Description - Organic Coatings by Zeno W. Wicks

Third Edition brings acclaimed textthoroughly up to date with
the latestorganic coatings technology
Organic Coatings, Third Edition is an unparalleled
reference and text for organic coatings technology and its myriad
applications. It begins with discussions of key principles of
coatings, then thoroughly explores raw materials, physical
concepts, formulations, and applications. Scientists, engineers,
and paint formulators all gain a deeper understanding of the
principles underlying the technology and learn how to use these
principles in the development, production, and application of
organic coatings. The four authors, all leading industry experts,
offer a unique approach to the topic that correlates the empirical
technology of coatings with the underlying science.
This Third Edition has been completely revised and
updated to reflect numerous changes in the field, including changes
driven by increasing pressure to lower VOC emissions, reduce energy
requirements, and eliminate potential health hazards from organic
coatings components. In addition, the authors have developed new
material to make the text more accessible for scientists and
engineers first entering the field, as well as for students taking
coatings courses. At the same time, the hallmarks that
distinguished the two previous editions have been retained,
including:

Troubleshooting guidance for coatings scientists and
technologists

Clear differentiation between established principles and
hypotheses requiring further research

Precise definitions of coatings industry terminology

Extensive references to the current literature

Hundreds of figures that help readers visualize key concepts
and techniques

Whether you are just entering the field of organic coatings and
need a broad overview or you are an experienced professional who
needs a sophisticated reference, you can depend on Organic
Coatings to give you the information and answers you need.
