If we lived in a perfect world, we wouldn't need a book such as this one by Judith Pietschmann. Unfortunately not everything occurs as planned. Hence, the need for a guide to assist in determining the cause and effect of powder coating defects. This book provides a "concise, practical and robust" examination of myriad problems that can occur in the use of organic powder coatings. Replete with excellent photography, Pietschmann provides a broad compendium of surface defects encountered in powder coating. The book is a translation of the German text, which was published prior to this English version.
In the past, ultraviolet (UV) curing of coatings on three-dimensional parts has presented a challenge to both formulators and end users. The same can be said of pigmented opaque coatings at higher film builds. When metal substrates are thrown into the mix, another degree of complexity is encountered. How can these challenges be overcome?
