Features: Coating additives are indispensable components of coatings, as they can improve production processes, maintain storage stability, enhance application conditions, and improve product quality while imparting special functions. Proper selection of additives can reduce costs and increase economic benefits. This manual introduces more than 170 manufacturers from domestic and international markets (including Taiwan) offering over 30 categories of additives, such as adhesion promoters, anti-blocking agents, anti-pouring agents, anti-flaking and anti-floating agents, defoamers, anti-foaming agents, anti-settling agents, viscosity stabilizers, antioxidants, anti-scaling agents, anti-sagging agents, anti-settling agents, antistatic agents, conductive control agents, biocides, bactericides, fungicides, and preservatives, coalescing agents, corrosion inhibitors, rust inhibitors, dispersants, wetting agents, driers, curing catalysts, flame retardants, flow control agents, hammer, flow dryers, matting agents, light stabilizers, photosensitizers, optical brighteners, plasticizers, slip and scratch-resistant agents, thickeners, thixotropic agents, and other additives. Each category is organized as: overview and product introduction. Each product is divided into five columns: trade name, supplier, composition, performance and application, and usage instructions. The manual also includes a supplier product index and a supplier address index to facilitate users in selecting additives based on their specific needs. This book serves as a reference for researchers, engineering technicians, technical workers, and university/college faculty involved in research, production, and application of coatings, as well as for technicians in related industries.
