Features: Coating additives are indispensable components of coatings, which can improve production processes, maintain storage stability, enhance application conditions, and elevate product quality while imparting special functionalities. Proper selection of additives can reduce costs and increase economic benefits. This handbook introduces over 170 manufacturers from domestic and international markets (including Taiwan) offering more than 30 categories of additives, such as adhesion promoters, anti-blocking agents, shrinkage inhibitors, 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 and wetting agents, driers, curing catalysts, flame retardants, flow control agents, hammer, flow dryers, matting agents, photostabilizers, photosensitizers, optical brighteners, plasticizers, slip and scratch-resistant agents, thickeners, thixotropic agents, and other additives. Each category is organized into: overview and product introduction. Each product is presented in five columns: trade name, supplier, composition, performance and applications, and usage instructions. The handbook 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 faculty engaged in research, production, and application of coatings, as well as for technical personnel in related industries.
