Starting with applications like
TV-housings, sports goods,
automotive rear spoilers and
buttons in the 60s and 70s of
the 20th century, the coating
of plastics, after getting over
some early design challenges,
has developed into an innovative
technology. In particular
the finishing and decoration
of plastic surfaces has become
a large industry. A guiding
effect to today's industry
came from the evolution of
automotive manufacturing.
Important milestons of development
were the initial design
of performance plastic resins,
followed by advances in injection
moulding processes and
tool design.
The technical properties of industrially
coated plastics are
investigated with specified
test methods and compared
with the demands of specifications.
The latter depend on the
kind of object to be coated,
whether it represents an in-
Additives are substances
which are added to a coating
composition in small
amounts, commonly less
than one percent to alter the
properties of a liquid paint or
the reultant solid coating in a
particular direction.
The book “Understanding
additives” by Bodo Müller
provides a description of the
chemistry and applications
technology behind various
paint additives.
It is devided in the chapters
for wetting and dispersing
agents, substrate-wetting additives
and levelling agents,

additives, catalysts, adhesion

cection-moulded part or for instance
an extruded foil or plate.
The book “Coatings for
Plastics” presents the technology
of coating plastics in a
broad and integrated mode,
treating both the single influence
fields and their connections.
The authors Guido Wilke
and Jürgen Ortmeier set one
focus on the plastic substrate
itself, as it is the origin of many
characteristic issues. Substrate
topics are then connected
with coating relevant plastic
processing aspects and surface
pre-treatment methods.
The chapter of coating materials
presents a broad portfolio
of modern formulation and
layer concepts, their main characteristics
with respect to end
users requirements.
This highly topical book offers
in-depth knowledge and a multitude
of practical tips, e.g. for
safeguarding the quality of the
coating film, and for developing
high-performance coatings for
plastics. The main emphasis
is on the properties of plastics
and the materials used to coat
them. A special feature of the
book is a separate chapter devoted
to the topics of typical
coating flaws, analytical and
test methods and precautionary
measures. xz

It covers everything about
the mode of action, application
and possible side effects
of the most improtan coatings

readers to rapidly gain a solid
grounding in thes critical, yet
compley constituents of all
paint formulations. The book
provides an overview and indepth

The various types of
damage eliminated or prevented
by additives are vividly
illustrated with colour photos.
Practitioners will further
welcome the guide formulations
for explaining how the
additives are used.

assistants, technicians,
graduates, engineers and
chemists with this class of raw
materials for paints. It serves
as a reference work fo all readers
interested in raw materials,
paints and coatings. xz

The different powder coating
systems that have been developed
in the last 40 years empoly
most of the polymers used in
the conventional solventborne
coatings. At the same time the
continuing market grwoth considerably
lowered production
costs.
Because of their different nature
compared to the liquid
coatings, powder coatings are
applied on the objects to be
coated by techniques that have
little in common with the well
known methods of application
of conventional coatings.
All about powder coatings in
one book – from the current
market situation and REACH
to the various types of powder
coatings, raw materials,
parameters affecting the properties
of powder coatings,
production technologies and
application technologies. Indispensable
for everyone who
comes in contact with powder
coatings in their daily work.
