Second Edition
edited by John J. Florio and Daniel J. Miller

Removing guesswork and uncertainty in the use of commercial and emerging coatings technologies, Handbook of Coatings Additives Second Edition compiles information on the composition, properties, utilization, and performance of major classes of additives while alerting formulators to potentially damaging interactions and challenges in the selection and testing of these materials—offering an abundance of practical knowledge on the industry’s most widely used compounds to accelerate and refine laboratory procedures, meet regulatory standards, and avoid hazards in the formulation of coatings additives.
