vinyls and acrylics or the heat curing of alkyds and acrylics. In other
cases, such as with an epoxy, acrylic modification can be a detriment.
‘Table 3 lists the properties and applications of the principal coating resins.
Additional information on coating resins can be found in Ref 1 to 3.
Basic Function. Paint coatings may be applied for appearance, to meet
functional requirements, or to meet combined function and appearance
