As it states in the preface, this textbook has been designed to familiarize technicians, engineers and chemists with the practice of formulating paints. Authors Müller and Poth set the stage for obtaining a clear understanding of coatings formulation in the first three chapters of this new textbook by providing a foundation for the technology before delving into the specifics of resin technology and coating types. Film formation, pigment dispersion and the basic calculations for characterizing a formulation are presented in an easy-to-read format.
