Failure Analysis of Paints and Coatings

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This publication is obviously unique in that it covers many...areas and provides answers to frequently asked questions..." (SAMPE Journal, November/December 2001)

Book Description
Written by an analytical Coatings Chemist and consultant with eighteen years of experience solving coating's problems, this is the first book that is devoted entirely to failure analysis of these problems. It deals with field and laboratory methods (both analytical and physical) involved in determining the causes of premature paint and coatings failures in the commercial and industrial arena. Practical examples are included to show both the thought processes behind such investigations and how the individual techniques complement each other.
Key features:

• Combines coatings chemistry and analytical techniques in one volume, giving both theory and applications
• Case studies of several coatings failures are presented, discussing why specific methods are used followed by an analysis of the results
• Does not assume too great a knowledge of the chemistry involved
