Abstract
In the surface coatings industry, formulation is particularly important as it determines not only final properties and attributes of the coating but also the manner and ease with which a coating may be manufactured, applied and transformed into its final form. In this chapter, we consider the principles guiding formulation pertinent to the commercial production of coatings focussing on component selection, formulation and production. Its focus is to provide the reader with an appreciation of the practical complexity that may arise when producing a formulation, while reinforcing the notion that it is not simply a matter of adding one component to another. Ultimately the reader will be better equipped to understand and address the challenges involved in taking a self healing coating concept from laboratory scale to a higher level of technology readiness.
