Introduction to Paint Chemistry was first published in 1967 with the intention of providing both a textbook for students and an introduction to the subject for those with little or no technical knowledge. This remains the objective of the second edition, in which I have attempted a complete revision, to take account of all the developments which have occurred in over a decade. As before, the reader should absorb as much of Part One as he or she feels necessary. It is worth noting, however, that the topics in it are specially selected from a paint point of view and that, for example, detail on oils in Chapter 3, on polymers in Chapter 5 and on light and colour in Chapter 6 could well be missing in some Chemistry degree courses. Part Two begins with four chapters applicable to paints of every sort and then goes on to six particular paint systems, covering the greater part of paints and varnishes in current use. The classification of paints within these six chapters is largely by drying mechanism. Thus the important family of acrylic finishes does not get a chapter to itself, since the drying mechanisms of the seven types of acrylic coating covered in this book are all different and not essentially acrylic mechanisms. The finishes are described in Chapters 11, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
