The book is very important for every person who want to enter the realm of coating technology.But the weakness of this book is also obvious:it is too old to keep abreast with the increasing development of coating industry,for instances the emergence of green coating :high build,solventless,powder coating ,water-borne coating etc.,the new application procedure ,such as cvd,dvd,self-leveling.I think it is time for Mr. Patton to roll up his sleeves to review the theory and practice of coating that have come up since 1979 .God bless Mr. Patton to present his new edition to his readers who is waiting so long for his new book.

This is an old book, but much has remained the same since it was written. It effectively lays out the requirements for the dispersion of pigment in to polymer solutions and emulsions, using various types of dispersing equipment.

Every paint maker must have this book on the shelf. It covers an area which would be otherwise almost completely dark, since there are not many books which deal with paint components, paint making and paint rheology in the same volume.
For artist's paints formulator, everything is useful in this famous reference.
For those who make industrial coatings, even if the formulas of industrial paints have changed since its publication, the principles of dispersion and the theoretical knowledges exposed here are still accurate and have still to be known by engineers. This book presents them clearly.
