Abstract

In recent years, the field of instrumental methods of chemical analysis has been rapidly growing and expanding in every branch of chemistry. At the same time, more modern scientific methods have been replacing older classical methods of formulation in the paint industry. Thus it seems that a combination of the two would prove to be a definite impetus to both the paint industry and the field of instrumental analysis.

A general liking for the surface coatings industry combined with a curiosity of the potentialities of instrumental analysis induced this student to undertake the particular problem of this thesis. First hand observation of the paint industry by means of part-time employment in the laboratory of Solar Corporation has been a considerable aid to the investigation of the problem.
