ABSTRACT
Coating systems are defined by generic type of binder or resin, and are grouped according to the curing or hardening mechanism of that generic type. The organic binder or resin of the coating material is primarily responsible for determining the properties and resistances of the paint. However, the type and amount of pigments, solvents, and additives also have an influence on the application properties and protective properties of the applied film, as discussed in the previous chapter.
