New book published: Polyester and Alkyd Resins

Polyester and alkyd resins belong to the most diverse and important material classes of paint chemistry. A new textbook written by Ulrich Poth has just been published and has the potential to become the new standard work for polyester and alkyd resins.

Polyester and alkyd resins have been used in the coatings industry for a long time. The new standard work goes into detail on the composition, structure and properties of these important binder groups and subjects previous findings in that field to a critical review.

It shows different precise calculation approaches in modern coatings development, ways to formulate polyester and alkyd resins in experimental designs and how to vary them systematically. A practice- and future-oriented reference book that should not be missing in any laboratory!

The book is available as printed version and ebook at the European Coatings book store.
