The Mission: A single book covering the practical and scientific basics underpinning the strategic formulation of modern paint and coatings systems - from physicochemical concepts to the recipes themselves. This book explains and elaborates in some depth on the key principles of coatings formulation. Indispens-able for formulators.The Audience: Trainees, students and newcomers to the profession who are seeking to acquire a solid grounding in coatings formulation, along with experienced formulators wishing to deepen, extend or refresh their knowledge. A knowledge of chemistry and basic knowledge of binders, pigments and additives are required.The Value: Coatings formulation explained step by step. The book opens with a look at the composition of coatings, placing special emphasis on the base binder in each type. Advice on specific formulations is then given before formulation guidelines are analysed. Throughout, the focus is on coatings formulation and how to arrive at the final recipe. A special feature of the book is its detailed index, which allows the reader to conduct targeted searches for specific aspects of coatings formulation.

Expand your knowledge and get fully acquainted with the various aspects of water-borne coatings - from production to properties to special features of their use! With the slow change from solvent-borne resins and coatings to water-borne coatings "Resins for waterborne coatings" is a must-read for any formulator wanting to expand their knowledge. The authors discuss important aspects of the "solvent-to-water-transition" of the past 40 to 50 years, take a deep dive into the key aspects and theories behind the production, properties and applications of these resins as well as providing an overview of how they are currently used in water-borne coatings.

Already in its 5th edition, this standard work describes the principles of rheology clearly, vividly and in practical terms. The book includes the rheology of additives in waterborne dispersions and surfactant systems. Not only it is a great reference book, it can also serve as a textbook for studying the theory behind the methods. The practical use of rheology is presented in the areas quality control, production and application, chemical and mechanical engineering, materials science and industrial research and development. After reading this book, the reader should be able to perform tests with rotational and oscillatory rheometers and interpret the results correctly.

Polyester and alkyd resins belong to the most diverse and important material classes of paint chemistry and their usage as binders has been established for a long time. This standard work goes into detail on the composition, structure and properties of these important binder groups and subjects previous findings in that field to a critical review. It shows different precise calculation approaches in modern coatings development, ways to formulate polyester and alkyd resins in experimental designs and how to vary them systematically. A practice- and future-oriented reference book that should not be missing in any laboratory!

This book covers everything about the mode of action, application and possible side effects of the most important coatings additives - in a single volume, presented in a textbook style. It reflects the needs of practical work - thus it enables the reader to rapidly gain a solid grounding in these critical, yet complex constituents of all paint formulations. It provides both an overview and in-depth basic knowledge of the most important classes of additives. The various types of damage eliminated or prevented by additives are vividly illustrated with colour photos. An indispensable companion for formulators!

The chemistry of polyurethane coatings is of great significance in many applications worldwide. Moreover, their development potential has yet to be exhausted by any means. New applications are being identified and the product range will be further development. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the chemistry and the various possible application fields of polyurethanes. It starts by illustrating the principles of polyurethane chemistry, enabling the reader to understand the current significance of many applications and special developments. Newcomers learn about the key concepts of polyurethane chemistry and the main application technologies, while experienced specialists will value the insights on current trends and changes.

When it comes to protecting coatings, it is essential to strike the right balance between controlling germs in order to avoid economic damage on the one hand and tolerating microbial life where it is necessary and useful on the other. The new book from Frank Sauer provides a comprehensive overview of the working mechanisms and possible applications of microbiocides for coatings - invaluable for formulators and technicians as well as for business people with a basic knowledge of chemistry and biology.

Finally! A book on the topic of sol gels that focuses on practical application. With 61 real-life examples drawn from patent literature and accompanying explanations and interpretations, you will gain a basic understanding of how sol-gel technology works in practice.

The Mission of this new book is to know everything about coil coatings and how they can be used successfully. From the basic principle underlying the coil coatings process to substrate preparation, selection of raw materials, coil coatings line equipment, performance testing and research topics through to standardisation.A noteworthy section of the book looks at applicaion areas involving cans and buildings. It also covers the diverse application procedures and their drying as well as wet spraying, powder coatings, UV-hardening, IR and EB.The major research findings on functional coatings and nanotechnology are included.To provide a solid grounding in all the imoortant principles of coil coatings - essential for the successful development of can and coil coatings.Jörg Sander writes this book for formulators seeking to stay abreast of the last developments in can and coil coatings as well as immersing themselves in the topic, along with experts looking for detailied information about surface preparation, materials, application, standardisation and test methods. Anyone involved in the coil coating manufacturing process who needs a full understanding of the relationships involved.

Mit 28 Aktivierungseinheiten zeigt das Buch die schönen Seiten des Winters. Die Fröhlichkeit, oftmals geweckt durch den ersten Schnee, und die Gemütlichkeit, die die langen Winterabende mit sich bringen. Eingefangen wird diese Atmosphäre des Winters durch Themen, wie "Handarbeiten", "Strümpfe", "Jahreswechsel" und "Fasching". Für alle Teilnehmenden ist etwas Passendes dabei, unabhängig davon, wie weit ihre demenzielle Erkrankung fortgeschritten ist. Jede Aktivierungseinheit besteht aus den gleichen vier Elementen: Anregungen zum Gespräch, Bewegungsübungen, Anregungen für die Sinne und Lieder und Gedichte. Ohne aufwändige Vorbereitungszeit lassen sich auf diese Weise gemeinsam mit den Bewohnern die Winterfreuden erleben.
