Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This second edition of an established and well received book has been carefully revised, in many instances by the original authors, and enlarged by the addition of two completely new chapters. These deal with the use of computers in the paint industry and with the increasingly important subject of health and safety. The chapter on pigments has also been re-written by an author new to this edition.It was the editor's intention in the first edition to provide science graduates entering the paint industry with a bridge between academia and the applied science and technology of paints. The great strength and appeal of this book remains that it deals with the technology of paints and surface coatings while also providing a basic understanding of the chemistry and physics of coatings.

Previous ed.: 1987.

CHOICE Review

This book is an updated edition of a 1987 work, written by a team at ICI Paints (UK), each with expertise in aspects of the coating industry. The differences between authors makes the book variable in readability and content. It is aimed at graduates starting out in industry and in this it is partly successful, as some sections build very successfully on a scientific basis toward an understanding of coating technology. The chapter on the physical chemistry of dispersion is a good example. Other chapters, such as the one on additives to paint systems, are not so successful, as the author does not describe commercial additives in such a way as to help the understanding of their functions and limitations. The updating process is variable; some chapters cover recent trends very well, while others such as those on rheology and mechanical properties have only a brief additional paragraph referring the reader to more recent reviews. Some chapters present a local viewpoint not reflecting industry acceptance, e.g., that on the industrial paint making process. The structure emphasizes European trends, e.g., in discussions of speciality markets. In summary, the book is a good reference for practicing paint chemists but will not be as useful for entry-level personnel. Graduate students through professionals. J. G.
