What constitutes a good coating from the perspectives of paint, painting, drying, analysis and evaluation, and troubleshooting? An essential book for coating and application!

★ A wide range of writers, from manufacturer engineers in various fields such as coatings, painting equipment, automobiles, and analysis evaluation, to veteran engineers who are well-versed in painting, provide detailed explanations of the key points in painting and coatings. ★ What are the key points of painting from the perspectives of "coatings," "application," and "drying"? What is the relationship between the design and composition of coatings and the resulting film? What are the characteristics and usage of additives? Why do defects occur during drying? What are the key points for uniform application and drying? ★ A detailed explanation of the essential physical property control needed to create a good coating. How can adhesion and cohesion be improved? What are the methods for controlling film thickness? How can the viscoelasticity of coatings be controlled, and how can rheology be utilized? ★ Engineers from various manufacturers explain the characteristics and differences of various painting methods and the handling of painting equipment. ★ A comprehensive understanding of coating analysis, evaluation, and simulation. Detailed explanations from composition analysis and adhesion evaluation of coatings to an overview of various weather resistance tests and degradation evaluation! The latest trends in evaluation equipment are also included. Understand everything from the basics of simulation to 3D printing simulation. ★ Comprehensive troubleshooting. What measures can be taken for curing failures and adhesion failures? Understand solutions for painting troubles such as splattering, runs, and unevenness, as well as degradation measures for blisters, cracks, and peeling! ★ Important practical points such as compliance with chemical substance regulations and issues related to automotive coatings are also included.
