Coatings Materials and Surface Coatings provides a detailed analysis of the raw materials used in the coatings, adhesives, paints, and inks industries.

Features:

• Highlights novel materials including fluorocarbon resins, polyurethane thickeners, surfactants, and biocides
• Provides unique coverage of novel, high-temperature pigments
• Offers an up-to-date perspective on more traditional materials such as alkyds, clays, and driers
• Discusses materials with fire-retardant, conductive, acid-free, waterproof, anticorrosive, and other desirable properties
• Contains chapters on self-seal and pressure-sensitive adhesives and adhesive products
• Examines coatings and varnishes for marine, medical, leather, and paintings conservation applications
