Description: Written by an analytical chemist and coatings consultant with eighteen years of experience solving coatings problems for a wide range of industries, this title will be essential reading for coatings chemists, corrosion engineers, paint technicians, and consultants in the paints and coatings industry.
This book is intended to provide the reader with an understanding of how to investigate, and solve, the premature failures of industrial coatings. The cracking, peeling, and blistering of coatings can result in widespread damage to the substrates which they are intended to protect, and can result in serious financial consequences. A sound knowledge of coatings chemistry, coupled with a firm understanding of the many field and laboratory techniques available for analyzing such problems, will aid the investigator in solving such failures.
