Volume 1, Fundamental Chemistry of Latices Applications in Adhesives
This book covers the fundamental chemistry of latices and their applications in adhesives. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety.
- Introduces the principles and practice of emulsion polymerisation and of the resulting latices and their properties
- Includes alkali-solubility, in relation to the requirements of specific applications, including pigmented systems and technical latices
- Contains a comprehensive account of the formulation of latex-based adhesives for the bonding of many different substances
Volume 2, Latices in Surface Coatings - Emulsion Paints
This volume discusses latices in surface coatings in regards to emulsion paints. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety.
- Describes the principles of the formulation, manufacture and application properties of water-based 'emulsion' paints and related surface coatings
- Includes inter alia gloss and anti-corrosion paints and electrocoating
Volume 3, Latices in Surface Coatings: Diverse Applications
This volume discusses latices in surface coatings in regards to diverse applications. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety.
- Covers the principles and practice of the use of latex-based systems in building and construction products, paper coating, textile treatment, polishes and many other specialised applications
