Читать книгу Paint Analysis - Roger Dietrich - Страница 6

For the investigation of paints, semi-finished products, raw materials and finished coatings, a very extensive “toolbox” of the most diverse analytical methods is available today. This is sometimes a bit confusing for the non-analyst. For an effective use of the individual methods, it is necessary to have a very detailed knowledge of the possibilities and limitations of each method, the excitation modes and the information to be expected. The book that you just opened will try to shed some light on the thicket of methods. A great deal of attention is given to surface processes, as the majority of questions arising in practice are related to surface phenomena in one way or another. But also the so-called “bulk analysis” plays an important role in this book. Classical test methods such as climate-testing, solar simulation etc. are deliberately omitted because these are test methods for a certain parameter but have a completely different objective and are not analysis techniques.
