Besides presenting practical information on the properties, selection, and use of organic coatings (and certain inorganic coatings), it provides basic principles in a number of important areas such as polymer structure, coatings formulation, pigment function, use of thinners, coating system compatibility, and theory of corrosion. Each chapter deals with a major area of the coatings field, including types of coatings, properties of synthetic resins, selection of coating systems, storage and safety, application methods, and surface preparation and pretreatment. There is also a consolidating chapter with illustrative examples of solutions to typical coatings problems. Interrelationships among the various areas of information are indicated through appropriate cross-referencing in the text.
