Handbook of Solvents - Second Edition
Synapse Information Resources, Inc, Pages: 764
Handbook of Solvents, Second Edition provides comprehensive information on approximately 3000 trade name and generic solvent chemicals. Solvents are essential components in formulating a wide range of products because of their ability to clean, dissolve, suspend, and extract other chemicals or materials without changing their composition. They are used extensively in the paint and coating industry as well as in cleaning and degreasing, printing inks, pharmaceutical and chemical processing, cosmetic and personal care products, adhesives, fuels, electronics, agrochemicals, food and beverages, and many other industries.
This resource provides comprehensive information on individual solvents that are available from chemical manufacturers throughout the world.
The user of either the reference or CD will be able to find solvents that meet requirements for specific applications. It serves as an integrated reference tool for decision making in formulation, purchasing, and the understanding of safety issues by providing current and in-depth information on solvent products.
Each entry contains information on:
- chemical composition
- classification
- properties
- functions/applications
- toxicology
- flammability and reactivity ratings
- storage
- environmental impact for both trade name and generic solvents that are manufactured worldwide
An application cross-reference contains more than 30 categories followed by an alphabetical listing of the trade name products and chemicals that are suited for use in these application areas. Detailed contact information for manufacturers, with web sites and email addresses, is also included in the Manufacturers Directory section.
Solvents are used in a wide range of industries including:
- Industrial and Consumer Cleaning/Degreasing
- Automotive and Aviation Fuel Additives, Electronics
- Printing Inks
- Paints and Coatings
- Plastics and Rubber products
- Adhesives
- Textiles
- Pharmaceuticals
- Cosmetics
- Food Processing
This practical resource provides a single source for professionals involved in solvent acquisition and use.
Handbook of Solvents 2nd Edition will be of special interest to: Solvent Formulators/Manufacturers - Industrial and Environmental Chemists Industrial Hygienists - Safety Regulators - Purchasing Agents
This book is divided into the following sections:
Part I — Trade Name Reference provides an alphabetical listing of more than 1500 trade name chemicals that function as
solvents in all aspects of industry. Each entry contains a comprehensive profile of the trade name chemical including: manufacturer’s name; chemical/material description; detailed functions and applications; physical properties, such as form, molecular weight, density, solubility, boiling point, cloud point, flash point, pH, freezing point, activity; toxicology, storage, precautions, etc.
Part II — Discontinued/Unverified Trade Name Reference provides an alphabetical listing of more than 500 trade name products that have been discontinued by a manufacturer, associated with a manufacturer that is no longer in business, or
has not been verified by the manufacturer as an active product for a number of years. This section is important for anyone who is trying to identify the composition of a solvent product for storage or handling concerns, or trying to find a substitute for this product in a specific application.
Part III — Chemical Component Cross-Reference covers more than 1000 chemicals and materials that are contained in the trade name products profiled in Part I or generic chemicals that are not linked to trade names but are used as solvents or in formulating solvents. Each monograph entry contains information including the following: CAS, EINECS/ELINCS, and UN/DOT reference numbers, classification, definition, chemical synonyms, empirical and molecular formulas, properties, toxicology, precautions, storage, uses, use level, regulatory details, manufacturers and distributors. Thousands of chemical/ material synonyms are cross-referenced back to the main entry. The chemical monographs also contain a listing of the trade name products that are either equivalent to this chemical or contain the chemical as one of its ingredients.
Part IV — Functional/Application Index is a powerful tool for locating the trade names and chemicals based on their function and/or industrial application area. By searching for key functional words such as solvent, diluent, intermediate, carrier in specific application areas such as cosmetics, pesticides, dry cleaning, metal cleaning, etc., the user is directed to the trade names and chemicals that have that specific functional/application attribute.
Part V — Manufacturers Directory contains detailed contact information for the more than 1000 worldwide manufacturers and their branches of the solvent chemicals contained in this handbook including telephone, telefax, toll-free numbers, e-mail and internet addresses, and complete mailing addresses.
Appendixes
