This handbook makes the arduous task of selecting a rheology
modifier for a specific application much easier. Technologists can
now avoid searching through the technical literature for likely
candidates, contacting suppliers for information and
recommendations, and paring the list of candidates down from
hundreds to a few dozen. With the information provided by the
author of the handbook, users can make choices quickly and easily.
The book is divided into four useful sections. Part I reviews
the fundamentals of rheology. Part II presents critical details on
more than 1,000 commercially available rheology products, arranged
alphabetically by chemical type, trade name and supplier's
name.
Part III focuses on the selection of suitable rheology modifier
candidates, summarizing the supplier's recommended applications for
each type and covering pertinent regulatory issues when using a
modifier in food or pharmaceutical applications. The handbook
provides key information on specific rheology modifiers for food,
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and household applications, covering 20
different types manufactured by 26 companies worldwide, and ranging
from acrylic polymers to xanthan gum. Part IV contains 227
formulations showing which rheology modifiers are recommended for
various applications and how they are incorporated into the
formulation.
