Despite the width and depth of this subject, Industrial Dyes gernerally suceeds in supplying an introductory overview of all the major classes and applications. ... practitioners and students...should find Industrial Dyes to be a valuable resource. Coloration Technology A very positive feature is that the most recent literature is covered, providing the reader with a quik route into the area...To summarize, the book can be recommended for industrial dyestuffs chemists and for everyone working on the science of dyes, as it gives a broad overview of the great variety of industrial dyes and their applications. Gunther Seybold, Neuhofen In: Angewandte Chemie - International Edition Wiley-VCH now have a comprehensive set of titles in colour chemistry covering Pigments, Pains and Coatings, and Dyestuffs and this latest volume is up to the high standart set by previous works...this is a very useful volume and should be in the library of all dyestuff manutactures. Organic Process Research & Development 2004 Although it is not a manual to be used at the bench, later chapters emphasize applied aspects and problems... What is remarkable about these lists of references is the inclusion of a very large number of industry documents and patents. The style of the book is technical without wasting any time on a narrative; as a consequence the information density is high and suits the needs of the busy professional seeking distilled specific information. The volume is thoroughly produced and manufactured according to very high standards. Industrial dyes will be of interest and value to every laboratory concerned with dye chemistry, and to libraries of organic chemistry institutes in general. Thomas Lazar, Color Research and Applications, Vol. 30, Number 1, February 2005 ...erfreulich, dass auch die neueste Literatur zitiert ist; damit wird ein rascher Einstieg in dieses Arbeitsgebiet ermoeglicht...Das Buch kann sowohl dem Industriechemiker als auch dem Akademiker empfohlen werden, da es einen breiten UEberblick uber die Vielfalt technischer Farbstoffe und deren Anwendungen gibt.
