Organic coatings: Science and technology

Book ·
OSTI ID:5557575
This volume covers raw materials for coatings (e.g. resins, solvents, pigments) and compares their relative merits and limitations. It deals with the chemistry of polymers, polymerization reactions, rheology of coatings, rheology, surface tension, colloids, film formation, solution and dispersed thermoplastic polymers, latexes, amino resins, acrylic resins, drying oils, alkyd resins, epoxy and phenolic resins etc. Color and gloss of coatings are very important properties of coatings which are discussed in two chapters. Characteristics of pigments are presented in depth in the final chapter. Chapter XV (Solvent Properties) should be of special interest to the readership of this journal. During application and film formation the solvents from coatings must evaporate. The rate of evaporation affects the appearance as well as properties of the fired film. Evaporation of single as well as mixtures of solvents is discussed in thermodynamic terms. Effects of viscosity and flammability are also discussed.
