The 2nd revised edition of this fundamental reference book presents paint formulation in two steps. Each section describes the chemical composition of the binders for the type of paint presented, followed by formulation advices and analysis of existing recipes. These analysis consist of calculating the important characteristic values of coatings. Examples of how to develop a real-life paint formulation round out this exceptionally useful textbook. All calculations based on recipes and formulations are worked through step by step and should therefore be intelligible to beginners, as well. “Coatings Formulation” familiarizes laboratory assistants, engineers and chemists with the practice of formulation paints, assuming a basic knowledge of chemistry, binders, pigments, and additives. It also serves as an important reference for all readers who are interested in paints and coatings.
