Additives for Coatings


Book Description

No doubt: A perfect coating has to look brilliant! But other properties of coatings are also most important. Coatings have to be durable, tough and easily applicable. Additives are the key to success in achieving these characteristics, even though the amounts used in coating formulations are small. It is not trivial at all to select the best additives. In practice, many series of tests are often necessary, and the results do not explain, why a certain additive improves the quality of a coating and another one impairs the coating. This book is dedicated to developers and applicants of coatings working in research or production, and it is aimed at providing a manual for their daily work. It will answer the following questions: How do the most important groups of additives act? Which effects can be be achieved by their addition? Scientific theories are linked to practical applications. Emphasis is put on the optical aspects that are most important for the applications in practice. This book is a milestone in quality assurance in the complete field of coatings!




Schlieren and Shadowgraph Techniques


Book Description

Schlieren and shadowgraph techniques are basic and valuable tools in various scientific and engineering disciplines. They allow us to see the invisible: the optical inhomogeneities in transparent media like air, water, and glass that otherwise cause only ghostly distortions of our normal vision. These techniques are discussed briefly in many books and papers, but there is no up-to-date complete treatment of the subject before now. The book is intended as a practical guide for those who want to use these methods, as well as a resource for a broad range of disciplines where scientific visualization is important. The colorful 400-year history of these methods is covered in an extensive introductory chapter accessible to all readers.

Handbook on Paint Testing Methods


Book Description

Paints and their allied products like varnishes, enamels, pigments, printing inks and synthetic resins protect assets from corrosion. These are increasingly being used in automotive, engineering and consumer durable sectors. Paint testing can be done in a number of different ways. The fact of the matter is that many industries use several different paint testing methods in order to ensure accurate results. Paint should be tested in a wet form for particular properties but also in the dry form. Testing of paints generally falls into three categories: testing of the raw materials, testing of the finished product and performance testing using accelerated weathering and other simulation type methods of evaluation. Coatings technologists deal with interfaces of all classes gas liquid as in an aerosol spray liquid liquid, as in an emulsion gas solid, as in a dry pigment before its immersion in a vehicle liquid solid, as in a pigment dispersion and solid solid, as when the crystal faces of two different pigment particles are in tight contact. Paint scientists are particularly interested in the formation of liquid solid interfaces that are stable in the package, that is, in the permanent replacement of the air at the air solid interface of the pigment by the vehicle to give the liquid solid interface of the dispersion. In coatings and similar products, the criteria for best performance particulate ingredients; inorganic, organic, extender and metallic flake pigments and dispersed phase of latexes depends on the size and shape of particles composing the particulate materials. The purpose of paint testing is to help and ensure that the minimum requirements for ingredients and material characterization are met by the manufacturer on a batch basis, and to help ensure that the formulated product will provide satisfactory performance in the environment. Handbook on Paint Testing Methods explains about aspect of gloss, specular glass, sheen, contrast gloss, absence of bloom gloss, distinctness of image gloss, specular gloss evaluation, specular reflectance, geometric considerations, instrumentation, goniophotometers, specular glossmeters, basic factors producing hiding power, refractive indexes of white pigments, refractive indexes of organic pigments, films for testing preparation of films for test, pigments and extenders, metallic flake pigments, latexes, methods for determining particle, treatment of data, particle size with light microscope etc. This handbook elaborates the different testing methods of paints with an understanding of the various tests that can be performed on product performance. This handbook will be very helpful to its readers who are related to this field and will also find useful for upcoming entrepreneurs, existing industries, technical institution, etc. TAGS Paint and Coating Testing, Paint Adhesion Testing, Paints & Coatings Materials Testing, Paint Testing Methods, Paint Testing Equipment, Coating Testing Methods, Paint Testing, Commercial Paint Testing, Paint Industry in India, How to Start Paint Industry in Small Scale, Specular Glass, Hiding Power, Basic Factors Producing Hiding Power, Hiding Power of Colored Pigments, Van Eyken-Anderson Method, Hiding Power Versus concentration for Titanium Pigments, Formulation of Paints from Predetermined S-Values, Back Factors Producing MC and TS, Spatula and Muller Methods, Laboratory Ruller Mill,, Laboratory Ruller Mill, Npiri Method for Colored Pigments, Tappi Method of Colored Pigments, Tintograph, ASTM Method for White Pigments, Npiri Method for White Pigments, NJZ Method for Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, Dupont Method for Titanium Dioxide, Reynolds Constant Volume Method, Centrifuge Methods for Specific Gravity of Pigments, Paint Testing Procedure, Test Methods for Paints, Methods For Testing Paints, Method for Cellulose Derivatives, Band Viscometer, Bubble Viscometer, Gardner-Holdt Bubble Viscometer, Surface Tension Measurements, Shadow Method, Tilting Plate Method, Displacement Cell Method, Surface Energetics, Particle Size Measurement, Oil Absorption of Pigments, Methods for Determining Oil Absorption, Films for Testing Preparation of Films for Test, Preparation of Films by Flowing, Preparation of Films by Dipping, Measurement of Film Thickness, Mechanical Properties of Films, Hardness and Related Properties, Mechanical Pencil Method, Abrasion Resistance, Classification of Test Methods, Methods Using Loose or Falling, Wet Abrasion Methods, Gardner Wet-Abrasion (Washability) Machine, PEL Abrasion Tester, Adhesion, Method of Removal, Knife Removal Methods, New York Club Chisel Adhesion Test, Tensile Strength and Elongation, Chemical Resistance, Battelle Chemical Resistance Cell, Bratt Conductivity Cell for Chemical Resistance, Fire Retardance Bratt Conductivity and Heat Resistance, Houston Heat Resistant Tester, New Jersey Zinc Company Heat Resistant Tester, Npcs, Niir, Process Technology Books, Business Consultancy, Business Consultant, Project Identification and Selection, Preparation of Project Profiles, Startup, Business Guidance, Business Guidance to Clients, Startup Project, Startup Ideas, Project for Startups, Startup Project Plan, Business Start-Up, Business Plan for Startup Business, Great Opportunity for Startup, Small Start-Up Business Project, Best Small and Cottage Scale Industries, Startup India, Stand Up India, Small Scale Industries, Paint Adhesion Testing Business Ideas You Can Start on Your Own, Indian Paint Testing Industry, Guide to Starting and Operating Small Business, Business Ideas for Paint Testing, How to Start Paint Testing Business, Starting Paint Adhesion Testing, Start Your Own Paint Testing Business, Paint Adhesion Testing Business Plan, Business Plan for Paint Testing, Small Scale Industries in India, Paint Adhesion Testing Based Small Business Ideas in India, Small Scale Industry You Can Start on Your Own, Business Plan for Small Scale Industries, Profitable Small Scale Manufacturing, How to Start Small Business in India, Free Manufacturing Business Plans, Small and Medium Scale Manufacturing, Profitable Small Business Industries Ideas, Business Ideas for Startup
