Abstract
This chapter deals with the diverse world of coating materials. They are products, in liquid, paste, and/or powder forms, that, when applied onto a substrate, form a layer possessing protective, decorative, and/or other specific properties (ISO EN 4618 standard). After introduction describing terms commonly used in the market, i.e., coatings, paints, and varnishes, the principal functions of coating materials are outlined. The components (binders, solvents, pigments, and additives) and the raw materials to their manufacture are discussed below. Manufacturing process of coating materials is the next heading. The chapter ends with the main applications of these products in building and construction, with special attention to architectural coating materi als.
