Organic Coatings: Science and Technology

Organic Coatings: Science and Technology, 4th Edition, is a reference work that connects empirical coating technology with underlying scientific principles. The text examines the development, production, and practical applications of organic coatings across commercial and industrial settings.

Coverage addresses fundamental concepts as well as specialized systems, including antimicrobial coatings and exterior architectural primers. The volume also shows how these principles extend to related products, such as printing inks, adhesives, and materials in the plastics industry.

Intended for practicing scientists, engineers, and students in coatings courses, the text pairs core science with troubleshooting guidance. It functions both as an accessible survey for newcomers and as a practical manual for experienced practitioners.
