Goldschmidt Artur, Streitberger Hans-Joachim. BASF Handbook Basics of Coating Technology

3rd Revised Edition. — BASF Coatings AG, 2018. — 1456 p. — ISBN: 978-3-86630-348-5.This new designed reprint describes the latest developments and tendencies in coating technology. The emphasis is placed on coating applications like automobile production coating, coil coating, automobile repair coating and industrial coating in general. From product composition, raw materials, principles of product formulation and the relevant production processes over theoretical aspects of coating composition to applications and the substrate's impact on the coating process - the BASF Handbook on Basics of Coating Technology covers all these topics concisely and every time right on target. Additionally a journey is taken through the various industrial sectors of the paint and coatings industry with the aid of a large number of examples and illustrations. Particularly interesting for newcomers to the industry and practically-minded readers. Standard tables, general performance indicators, definitions of terms and a comprehensive index round off this worldwide well-known standard work: a classic - simply indispensable!Coating material.
Raw materials (film forming agents, solvents, pigments and extenders, plasticizers and additives).
From raw material to coating material (general rules on drawing up formulations, material flow in a paint factory, theory of dispersion, production of coating materials).
Characterization of coating materials (measurement accuracy, testing raw materials and coating materials, pigment specific tests, processibility of coating materials).
Coatings.
From coating material to coating : the film formation (wetting and flow, solidification of the film, film shrinkage, special features of high solid paints and waterborne paints, monitoring the film forming process with measuring instruments).
Properties and testing the coatings (film thicknesses, dry film density, measurement of voids in coating films, visual properties, mechanical properties).
Durability of coatings (fundamental features of ageing, ageing tests).
Coating technology.
Substrate impact (wood and wood materials, metallic materials, plastics, mineral substrates, other substrates, work piece design and coatability).
Paint processing (processing of wet paints, processing powder coatings).
Drying and curing (film formation by heat transfer, curing by uv and electron-beam radiation).
Safety, environmental protection and health.
Legislative framework; safety (manufacturing, storage, transportation, application); environmental protection (exhaust air, wastewater, recycling and disposal); health; ecobalances; environment compatible paints and coatings (high solids, waterborne paints, slurry, powder coatings, radiation curable paints and coatings, other coating systems); economy of coating processes.
