Specialty Chemicals Source Book

Summary

An International Guide to 18,000 Specialty Chemicals and 130,000 Trade Name and Chemical Synonyms

The specialty chemical industry is focused on the development of chemicals and materials from the perspective of function and market value. The emphasis is not on the empirical structure of these chemicals, but on how they serve end-user markets. The growth of specialty chemicals as a global industry, is tied to exploring and expanding functions and applications for both new and existing chemicals that can serve traditional and niche markets, as well as bringing these chemicals to new geographic markets.

It is essential for those involved in the production and distribution of specialty chemicals to have ready access to a reference that contains integrated information on these chemicals, their properties, functional and application market sectors, manufacturers and distributors. Specialty Chemicals Source Book, now in its Fourth Edition, serves this purpose. It has been extensively revised and expanded and now contains approximately 18,000 monographs on this group of chemicals with 70,000 cross-referenced chemical synonyms, and more than 60,000 trade name equivalents.

The Specialty Chemicals Source Book will be of special interest to:

Contents

PART I-Specialty Chemical Monographs contains more than 18,000 specialty chemical entries. Each entry contains information including the following categories: CAS (Chemical Abstract Service), EINECS/ELINCS (European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances/European List of Notified Chemical Substances), and UN/DOT reference numbers, classification, definition, chemical synonyms, trade name synonyms (including manufacturers), empirical and molecular formulas, properties, toxicology, precautions, storage, uses, use level, regulatory details, manufacturers and distributors. All generic chemical synonyms and trade name synonyms are cross-referenced back to the main entry.

Part II-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 catalyst, moisture scavenger, plasticizer or application key words, such as inks, coatings, elastomers, thermoplastic resins, the user is directed to the appropriate specialty chemical monographs.

Part III-Manufacturers Directory contains detailed contact information for the more than 4400 manufacturers of the trade name products and generic chemicals that are referenced in this source book. Wherever possible, telephone, telefax, toll-free 800 numbers, Email and Internet addresses, and complete mailing addresses are included for each manufacturer.
