FSCT publishes "Coatings Fundamentals: Waterborne Coatings Technology".The Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology has announced the publication of FSCT FSCT Federation of Societies for Coating Technology FSCT Fire Support Control Terminal Coatings Fundamentals: Waterborne Coatings Technology. Over the past 50 years, waterborne coatings have emerged to become a dominant technology in the coatings field. This 136-page softcover soft·cov·er adj. Not bound between hard covers: softcover books; a softcover edition. book introduces waterborne technology to those scientists new to coatings, and provides a better understanding for the non-scientist. Edited by Stanley J. Pruskowski, of Rohm and Haas Rohm and Haas Company (NYSE: ROH), a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based company, manufactures miscellaneous materials. A Fortune 500 Company, Rohm and Haas employs more than 17,000 people in 27 countries. The annual sales revenue of Rohm and Haas stands at about USD 8.2 billion. Company, FSCT Coatings Fundamentals: Waterborne Coatings Technology, is a compendium com·pen·di·um n. pl. com·pen·di·ums or com·pen·di·a 1. A short, complete summary; an abstract. 2. A list or collection of various items. of papers on various aspects of waterborne technology, authored by leading industry experts. The publication begins with an overview of waterborne coatings for architectural paints, featuring chapters on vinyl acrylic emulsions, vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers as binders, and latex latex, emulsion of a polymer (e.g., rubber) in water (see colloid). Natural latexes are produced by a number of plants, are usually white in color, and often contain, in addition to rubber, various gums, oils, and waxes. chemistries for use in exterior architectural applications. Covering the area of industrial coatings, the book focuses on polyurethane dispersion chemistry, waterborne acrylic latex coatings for corrosion protection, and waterborne epoxy epoxy Any of a class of thermosetting polymers, polyethers built up from monomers with an ether group that takes the form of a three-membered epoxide ring. The familiar two-part epoxy adhesives consist of a resin with epoxide rings at the ends of its molecules and a curing technology for ambient-cure, two-component coatings. Exploring additives for waterborne coatings, chapters discuss coalescing coalescing (kō  les´ing),n a joining or fusing of parts. aids in latex paints, plastic pigments, and rheology modification of water-based coatings. In the area of testing, developing practical test methods to predict performance is extremely important. One chapter explains a test for elastomeric coatings that are highly flexible. The final chapter introduces quality management tools that aid in measuring the quality of the product. The publication complements the previously published book and CD, Waterborne Coatings: A Compilation of Papers from the Journal of Coatings Technology, released by FSCT. List price for FSCT Coatings Fundamentals: Waterborne Coatings Technology is $135; the discounted price for FSCT members is $75.
