Since the 1980's there have been many significant changes in surface coatings which have
necessitated major changes in the resins used, even though many may still be referred to by
generic names. Thus it is appropriate that a series of books written for graduates new to the
resins and surface coatings industries, which became recognised globally as an overview of
the technology of resins for surface coatings should be revised and issued in time for the new
millennium to reflect the recent advances within these industries, whilst retaining the basic
understanding for which this original series of books was renowned.
It is reported that there was a time when the surface coatings industry dealt with a relatively

that between 1736 and 1900, Watin's book on varnish formulations was reprinted 14 times
with only minor modifications. This was claimed(4) to be the industry standard. Compare that
with today's situation. A book which lasts for 200 years to the turn of the century, followed by
a series of books) published in the 1940's which last 40 years to be superseded by a set which
