Introduction to paint chemistry and principles of paint technology

This work provides a comprehensive introduction to paint technology supported by the relevant aspects of chemistry and physics. It covers the basic science and is devoted to paint composition, formulation and drying mechanisms, paint ingredients such as solvents, pigments and additives, and the different paint groups by chemical type. Throughout the book the authors emphasize the factors which govern the choice of a particular paint for a particular job. This new edition has been thoroughly revised to modernize and clarify the text. Areas of new development have been added including environmental impacts, safety issues and modern paint making techniques. Nomenclature and units have also been updated and a glossary of technical terms added. This book should be of interest as a course text for paint technology students and technical staff concerned with the paint industry.

Introduction to Paint Chemistry was first published in 1967 with the intention of providing both a textbook for students and an introduction to the subject for those with little or no technical knowledge. This remains the objective of the second edition, in which I have attempted a complete revision, to take account of all the developments which have occurred in over a decade. As before, the reader should absorb as much of Part One as he or she feels necessary. It is worth noting, however, that the topics in it are specially selected from a paint point of view and that, for example, detail on oils in Chapter 3, on polymers in Chapter 5 and on light and colour in Chapter 6 could well be missing in some Chemistry degree courses. Part Two begins with four chapters applicable to paints of every sort and then goes on to six particular paint systems, covering the greater part of paints and varnishes in current use. The classification of paints within these six chapters is largely by drying mechanism. Thus the important family of acrylic finishes does not get a chapter to itself, since the drying mechanisms of the seven types of acrylic coating covered in this book are all different and not essentially acrylic mechanisms. The finishes are described in Chapters 11, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
