Description
Book SynopsisNow in its second edition and still the only book of its kind, this is an authoritative treatment of all stages of the coating process -- from body materials, paint shop design, and pre-treatment, through primer surfacers and top coats. New topics of interest covered are color control, specification and testing of coatings, as well as quality and supply concepts, while valuable information on capital and legislation aspects is given.
Invaluable for engineers in the automotive and paints and coatings industry as well as for students in the field.
Trade Review"Intended for use by engineers in the motor vehicle and paint and coatings industries as well as for students." (World Surface Coatings Abstracts, February 2008)
" Die Verfasser haben ein Werk geschaffen, dass erstmals systematisch den Automobillackierprozess in all seinen Facetten von "vorn nach hinten" beschreibt und ihn in Kontext zu Trends für die Zukunft setzt. Gemeinsam mit ihren Co-Autoren haben sie es verstanden, dieses komplexe Gebiet ausgewogen zwischen fachspezifischem Anspruch und allgemeiner Verständlichkeit darzustellen."
Dr. Ulrich Meier-Westhues, Bayer MaterialScience AG, Leverkusen, März 2008
"Die Kapitel wurden allesamt von Experten in ihren Spezialfeldern geschrieben, daher die beeindruckende Tiefe der dargestellten Themen."
