Publisher's Synopsis
Saturated polyester resins are used in a wide range of industrial applications, including industrial paints, automotive coatings, and wood linings. This volume presents the basic chemistry of these systems including step polymerisation, design considerations and cross linking before discussing in detail the application of saturated polyester coatings in these, and other, areas.
Divided into nine comprehensive chapters: Principles of Step Polymerisation; Polyester Design Considerations; The Chemistry & Technology of the Crosslinking of Aminoplasts; Waterborne Saturated Polyesters; Principles, Derivatisation and Applications of Dendritic Polyesters; Polyesters in Industrial Paints; The Applications of Saturated Polyester in OE and Refinish (VR) Coatings; Saturated Polyester Resins & Powder Coatings; Saturated Polyester Systems in Woodfinishing
