Aufbau, Struktur und Eigenschaften der Epoxidharze werden für lösemittelhaltige als auch für wässrige Systeme in dem neuen Fachbuch Epoxidharze dargestellt. Die 1K- und die 2K-Systeme werden beleuchtet und die lacktechnischen Grundlagen effizient hervorgehoben. Dem Leser werden unterschiedliche Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Epoxidharzsysteme und deren Vor- und Nachteile nahegebracht. Außerdem verschafft das Buch einen Einblick in anwendungstechnische Anforderungen und deren Überprüfung.
