内容简介

As the coatings industry continues to be influenced by sustained environmental pressures, the market for water-based coatings has shown significant signs of growth. The move away from solvent to water-based coatings has been facilitated by the active development of appropriate performance enhancing additives. Ideal for industrial and post-graduate researchers in this area, Advances in Additives for Water-based Coatings presents recent innovative developments in each of the major additive fields, covering organic and inorganic thickeners, defoamers, coalescing solvents, biocides and dispersants. As new and more stringent environmental legislation emerges, it serves to highlight the ways in which manufacturers will need to respond, if they are to remain competitive and cost-effective.
