PART I—Trade Name Reference This section provides an alphabetical listing of more than 28,000 trade name chemicals and materials that are used as surfactants. Each entry includes the manufacturer's name; chemical/material description; its detailed functions and applications in all aspects of industry; physical properties, such as HLB, ionic classification, form, molecular weight, density, solubility, boiling point, cloud point, flash point, pH, freezing point, activity; toxicology, storage, precautions, etc.
PART II—Generic Products, Trade Name Cross-Reference This section covers more than 5,000 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 surfactants. Each entry contains information including the following: CAS, EINECS/ELINCS, and UN/DOT numbers, classification, definition, synonyms, formulas, properties, toxicology, precautions, storage, uses, use level, regulatory details, manufacturers and distributors. Chemical/material synonyms are cross-referenced back to the main entry. Entries are followed by a listing of the trade name products that are either equivalent to the entry or contain it as one or more of its ingredients. Manufacturing and distribution sources for the generic chemical are also included.
Part III—Function/Application Index is a powerful tool for locating chemicals based on functions and industrial application areas. By searching for functional key words such as defoamer, emulsifier, dispersant, wetting agent or application key words, such as oil field, coatings, water treatment, .etc, the user is directed to the trade names and/or chemicals that have that specific functional/application attribute.
Part IV—Manufacturers Directory contains detailed contact information for the more than 4,000 manufacturers of the trade name products and generic chemicals that are referenced in this source book. Wherever possible, telephone, telefax, toll-free telephone numbers, Email and Internet addresses, and complete mailing addresses are included for each manufacturer.
