Automotive Coatings Formulation : Chemistry, Physics and Practices. European Coatings Tech Files

The automobile industry and the varnish manufacturers are using a considerable expenditure to produce particularly appealing surfaces. The main focus in the painting industry is on the protection against corrosion, weathering, chemical and mechanical influences as well as obtainment of appealing surfaces. Several manufacturers specialize exclusively in automobile lacquers. This book deals with the composition and the production of the most difficult components and their physical as well as their application technology characteristics.Application technology characteristics describe the application behaviour, the task of protection, and the responding appearance. Ulrich Poth approaches the people, who are entrusted with raw materials, systems and application procedures. Furthermore, Automotive Coatings Formulation isaddressed to all chemists, physicists, engineers, and other technically interested persons.
