Download Increasing the Durability of Paint and Varnish Coatings in Building Products and Construction Ebook PDF

Increasing the Durability of Paint and Varnish Coatings in Building Products and Construction presents data and analysis on regularities in the appearance quality of protective and decorative coatings for building products and structures, also detailing the relationship between the resistance of coatings and the quality of their appearance. Developing a method for ensuring the quality of painted surfaces for building products and developing control methods is an important scientific, technical and economic problem. The conditions needed depend largely on the rheological properties of paint and the processes of wetting and application, with different variables for metal or concrete structures. Presents data and methodological developments that increase the service-life of protective and decorative coatings Details regularities in the appearance quality of protective and decorative coatings Covers the relationship between coating resistance and appearance quality Develops methods for ensuring the quality of painted surfaces Considers the different variables for the application of paint to various surfaces of building products and structures

Note from the publisher: Now in its sixth edition, this bestselling reference focuses on the basic materials and methods used in building construction. Emphasizing common construction systems such as light wood frame, masonry bearing wall, steel frame, and reinforced concrete construction, the new edition includes new information on building materials properties; the latest on "pre-engineered" building components and sustainability issues; and reflects the latest building codes and standards. It also features an expanded series of case studies along with more axonometric detail drawings and revised photographs for a thoroughly illustrated approach.

Monthly magazine devoted to topics of general scientific interest.

A step-by-step introduction to coatings formulation: Insights into the chemical composition and binders of various types of paints; Exclusive selection, analysis, and annotation of existing recipes; Various examples of how to develop a real-life paint formulation
