Preface - This single-volume compendium fulfills the demand for a compact version of the widely acclaimed Encyclopedia of Surfactants and contains over 12,000 entries. The surfactant products included have been compiled with. the cooperation of the major national and international surfactant manufacturers. The first section of this reference is a Trademark Dictionary that contains short entries for all tradename surfactants that appear in Volumes I-IV of the Encyclopedia plus all the new surfactant products that have become available since the publication of this set. Each tradename entry is followed by a number in brackets which refers to the manufacturer that is listed in Part III of this encyclopedia. What makes this reference unique and especially useful for anyone doing chemical research is the addition of the Chemical Component-to-Tradename Cross Reference section. This provides the user with the capability of finding tradename surfactant products that contain specific chemical compounds. For example, by locating alphabetically the chemical ammonium lauryl sulfate, the user is able to retrieve a list of all the tradename products that contain that chemical. The user can then refer back to the frrst section for detailed descriptions of the specific tradename products listed here. This section also includes the chemical compound synonyms for the surfactant components which are cross referenced in most cases to the alternate chemical names that contain the tradename product listings. Primary chemical component references are made to the CTFA (Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association) adopted names where possible. For many chemical entries the Chemical Abstract Service Registry Numbers (CAS) are given. This number ensures the unique identification of a chemical regardless of its multiplicity of synonyms. RD (Recognized Disclosure) reference numbers are included in some cases either in addition to the CAS number or because no CAS number has been assigned as yet. The third section presents the names and addresses of the manufacturers of all of the products included in this compendium with their associated tradenames.

Originally published in 1993, over 16,000 tradename surface-active agents for industrial applications, manufactured worldwide, are contained in this edition. General-use surfactants, such as emulsifiers, wetting agents, foaming agents, detergents, dispersants, and solubilizers are included, as well as detergent raw materials, defoamers, and antifoaming agents. The types and quantities of surfactants available commercially are numerous and the difficulty in making choices between products may become overwhelming. It is the purpose of this book to guide those who are involved in the selection of these materials through the procecss of identifying, classifying, and selecting the most appropriate products for their requirements. Therefore, this reference is organized so that the user can search for and locate products based on a variety of essential distinguishing attributes.

Industrial Paints - Appendix - Preface - The physical aspects of paint chemistry and technology are well covered in many up-to-date texts and the reader is strongly advised to become acquainted with this material before using this formulary. This volume and the ones that will follow are a catalogue of formulas reflecting the state of the art in the paint industry. It is meant to serve as a tool for anyone who must turn out quality paint products, without the fiscal luxury of developing completely new, untested prototypes. However, this is not a cookbook. Most of the formulas contained are starting point preparations that do require refining. It is that giant leap from nothing to a workable idea that this series attempts to make. Anyone familiar with coatings knows it is impossible to have distinct chapters dealing with only one product. Of the chapters presented here almost all contain major elements of the others. The descending logical sequence of each chapter is loosely built on: A. Use (primer, enamel, exterior paint, interior paint, luminescent paint, etc.) and special characteristicsB. Vehicle (oil, alkyd, epoxy, latex, etc.)C. Color (if any specified) Unless otherwise specified, all formulas have the quantities of ingredients given in parts by weight. Where test results were available, they follow the formula. A list of abbreviations that are used throughout the formulary is included. All constituents appearing by their trademark name are printed in boldface type, and the manufacturers' names and addresses appear after the list of alphabetized tradenames in the Appendix.

This is a collection of formulas devoted entirely to products that serve as cleaning agents for personal hygiene, household uses, and industrial maintenance.
All formulas are systematically presented first by application and then classified by their chemical constituents. The formulas include instructions for preparation. Because of the broad spectrum of cleaning agents included in the book it will be valuable to both the industrial and home chemists with formulas geared to the professional and the hobbyist.

PREFACE - This comprehensive, modem encyclopedia of surfactant products has been compiled with the cooperation of the major national and international surfactant manufacturers in order to give the user quick and thorough information on each tradename product that is included. Information from thousands of brochures, technical bulletins, and data sheets has been gleaned in order to make a complete profile on each surfactant product available from one source-this three volume compendium. Though sometimes limited by the information provided by the manufacturers, in most instances, the chemical ingredients, properties, form, applications, etc. of each product are discussed in detail. The use of surfactants pervades almost every chemical industrial concern- including textiles, paints, pesticides, foods, cosmetics, pharamceuticals, etc. We hope that because of the universality of surfactants, this reference work will be able to serve as a useful tool to the many chemical engineers and salespeople here and abroad. We want to extend our thanks to Roberta Dakan for her dedication and tireless efforts in helping make this encyclopedia as accurate and consistent as possible. When the temperature at which properties such as viscosity, density, surface tension; solubilities, etc. is not included, a standard temperature of 25 C is to be assumed. The information in this publication is reliable to the best of our knowledge. We would be glad to be informed of any errors or omissions so that these can be integrated into subsequent editions of this encyclopedia.

PREFACE - This encyclopedia is an attempt to coordinate and unify practical information on plastic, polymer, and resin trademark products. These categories overlap, i.e., plastics are a subset of polymers, and resins are often, but not always, polymers. However, it has been our aim to give the user of this compilation fingertip availability to a large quantity of essential information about these products. This three-volume compendium has been made possible through the cooperation of the major national and international plastic, polymer, and resin manufacturers. The information provided here has been gleaned from thousands of brochures, technical bulletins, and data sheets, but the extent of the information provided for each product has been limited by the amount of data given to us by the manufacturers. Whenever possible and/or appropriate, we have given the chemical description, applications, form and color, general, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of each product. With the state of technological growth in these industries constantly increasing, this encyclopedia should serve as an important tool for chemists, engineers, and salespeople here and abroad. We want to extend our thanks to Roberta Dakan for her tireless efforts in helping make this encyclopedia as accurate and consistent as possible. It should be noted that when the temperatures of properties such as viscosity, density, solubility, etc. are not included, a standard temperature of 25 C is to be assumed.
