The latest edition of this classic text covers all aspects of the use of high-performance coatings. The third edition covers the significant increase in new technology in the coatings industry since the publication of the second edition in 1999. The book is a comprehensive reference tool for engineers, paint superintendents, maintenance personnel, and others involved in the use of protective coatings to prevent corrosion on all structures and in all industries and environments. Review: NACE CIP - Excellent text for NACE CIP Level 1 and Level 2 course study Review: Great information, bad format. - The contents of the book are very thorough; if you are taking a NACE coatings exam, it is a "must read." It covers a wide variety of coating materials, techniques, and historical perspectives. It really delves into the mechanics of how coatings work, what best practices are, and why we do the things we do when coating. There are several germane and helpful photographs, some of which provide interesting insight into how testing and coating practices have changed over time. They even include photographs of more recent technologies. My problem with this book is its readability. There are several typographical errors that at times cause confusion and slow down reading speed. The pages are of sufficiently high gloss as to cause eye strain, due to glare in an office environment. Finally, the column width is 7 1/4", causing difficulty when scanning to the next line. I have been using a ruler to help me read it. If they come out with a fourth edition, hopefully they will change the format and paper type.
