High solid technology remains one of the most important answers to stricter environmental legislation on organic solvent emissions in paint manufacture and application-while also benefiting from a growing focus on renewable raw materials. Formulators and users are provided with an overview that covers: definitions and principles, system types, application windows, solubility, rheology, crosslinking, property profiles and testing, as well as new insights into silanes, polyurea and ketimines.
The Mission: This book highlights the continued relevance of high
solid binders in meeting regulatory, environmental, and performance
challenges in coatings development. Building on the first edition, it
now includes updated content on modern chemistries such as silanes,
polyurea, ketimines, as well as new processes for low-molecular-weight
acrylics. High solid resins remain a robust and flexible technology -¿
offering low VOC emissions, broad formulation latitude, and increasing
compatibility with renewable raw materials.
The Audience: A practical reference for advanced formulators, binder
chemists, and lab professionals in the coatings industry. Whether you
are developing new systems or optimizing existing ones, this book
provides concise, hands-on knowledge of high solid technologies, from
raw materials to application.
The Value: A compact yet comprehensive guide to high solid systems -
covering binder types, formulation strategies, and process innovations.
This updated edition bridges science and application, offering clear
explanations and practical insights for daily lab work and long-term
development.
