The ability of a solid suspension in liquid medium to coat a vertical surface was analyzed. Results with model suspensions, consisting of polystyrene particles (37–147 μm) in volume concentration from 15–40%, show that coating thickness increases linearly with particle concentration in suspension, and then increases sharply at a critical concentration. The coating thickness of sucrose in corn oil shows behavior similar to that of the model system.
