INTRODUCTION In Chapter 3, the chemistry and technology of materials, which have the potential to act as a film former and binder in the final coating, were described. Wood, more than most substrates, has a requirement for trans- parent coatings but even so to be a practical coating the film former will normally only be effective when other ‘additives’ are present to modify: curing rates, flow properties, etc. Many coatings are
