Review: This large handbook contains 5500 trade names and generic chemicals and materials that are used in a broad range of formulations to prevent their contamination and decomposition. Each entry contains a profile of the chemical including manufacturer’s name, chemical/material description; detailed functions and applications; and physical properties. It contains comprehensive information on a variety of preservatives available from major chemical manufacturers worldwide. It is divided into a number of sections: Trade Names Reference; Chemical Compounds Cross Reference (chemicals and material that are contained in trade names or preservatives); Functional Application Index (to locate trade names according to their function); and Manufacturers’ Directory.
