Coating and Drying Defects: Troubleshooting Operating Problems FROM THE PUBLISHER
Coating and Drying Defects provides manufacturing and quality control personnel, equipment operators and supervisors, and plant engineers and scientists with the full complement of proven tools and techniques for detecting, defining, and eliminating coating defects and operating problems, and for ensuring that they do not recur. Practical and comprehensive, it describes all major processes for coating and drying of continuous film on sheets or webs, including roll, slot, extrusion, slide, curtain, and other common processes. Just as importantly, rather than simply describing a disparate set of troubleshooting techniques, this unique guide arms readers with a systematic, nonmathematical methodology encompassing the entire coating operation. Providing a rational framework within which to assess and analyze virtually any defect which may arise, this rigorously systematic approach incorporates step-by-step guidelines on conducting every phase of the troubleshooting process - from the detection and naming of a defect, to data analysis and determination of its cause, from eliminating the problem to documenting results. And since the ideal coating process is one that is defect-free, the authors also offer guidelines for defect prevention. A book that arms readers with the full range of proven troubleshooting tools and techniques, Coating and Drying Defects is an indispensable resource for manufacturing and quality control personnel as well as plant engineers, polymer scientists, surface scientists, organic chemists, and coating scientists.
FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
Not about how to paint over mistakes and hope the boss doesn't notice, but a guide to correcting defects that occur during the coating and drying stages of a manufacturing process. Describes tools and techniques for defining, analyzing, and eliminating individual defects and the underlying operational problems that cause them during the coating of continuous film on sheets or webs. A non-mathematical treatment for coating personnel, quality control managers, plant engineers, and scientists. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
