Databook Of Solvents

Databook of Solvents, Second Edition, has been redesigned to include all high production volume solvents and has been completely updated with the most up-to-date findings, data and commercial developments. With more than 250 of the most essential solvents used in everyday industrial practice, the book includes their physical properties, health and safety considerations (such as carcinogenicity, reproduction/developmental toxicity, flammability), and first aid guidance. Emphasis is placed on cost-saving and efficient replacements for more toxic solvents. Detailed information is also given for usage considerations, including outstanding properties, potential substitutes, features, and recommended benefits for each solvent. Includes more than 250 of the most essential solvents Provides practical information for use in the lab and the field, including recommended processing methods, dosages and potential substitutes Presents environmental considerations, thus enabling practitioners to find more efficient replacements for toxic solvents

Databook of Green Solvents 3rd Edition includes data and information that is divided into five separate sections: General, Physical, Health, Environmental, and Use. Emphasis is given to safer and more efficient alternatives to more toxic solvents, with forty-five solvents included in the previous edition replaced in this edition by about seventy new ones. Readers interested in this subject should note two related volumes, Handbook of Solvents, Volume 1: Properties, and Handbook of Solvents, Volume 2: Use, Health, and Environment. Together, these books provide the most comprehensive information on the subject matter. The books are the most authoritative sources of knowledge, with information updates from the most recent literature and developments occurring in the field of solvents. Covers more than 300 green solvents, from biodegradable and biorenewable, to siloxanes and perfluorocarbons Provides practical information for use in the lab and in the field, including recommended processing methods, recommended dosages, and potential substitutes Details critical health, safety, and environmental data to hep production chemists and engineers select the correct solvent

Databook of Solvents, Third Edition has been revised to include all of the most-used high-production volume solvents. It contains a large set of data for each, with information divided into five sections, including General; Physical; Health; Environmental; and Use. The General section covers data such as name, CAS number, empirical formula, mixture, moisture contents, properties, EC number, and more. The Physical section includes data such as dielectric constant, boiling temperature, color, corrosivity, electrical conductivity, heat of combustion, odor, surface tension, and more. The Health section features data on carcinogenicity, packaging group, explosion limits, flammability, reactivity, ingestion, skin and eye irritation, and more. The Environmental section highlights data on biodegradation probability, chemical oxygen demand, global warming potential, soil absorption constant, UV absorption, and more. Finally, the Use section features data on manufacturer, outstanding properties, potential substitutes, processing methods, and more. Further information which may help in the replacement of these solvents can be found in the complementary Databook of Green Solvents, and readers interested in the subject should note that two volumes of fundamental treatment of all essential areas of solvent use have also been published, Handbook of Solvents Volume 1: Properties, and Handbook of Solvents Volume 2: Use, Health, and Environment. Together these four books provide the most wide-ranging and authoritative information on the subject of solvents. Covers more than 280 of the most essential solvents Provides practical information for use in the lab and the field, including recommended processing methods, dosages, and potential substitutes Presents environmental considerations, thus enabling practitioners to find more efficient replacements for toxic solvents

A comprehensive, extensive textual analysis of the principles of solvent selection and use, the handbook is intended to help formulators select ideal solvents, safety coordinators to protect workers, and legislators and inspectors to define and implement technically correct public safeguards for use, handling, and disposal.

The Solvents Database, 3rd Edition is an extensive compilation of 140 properties of 1,627 solvents. This is a significant increase over the second edition, and the amount of information contained within the database is 65% more than the previous edition. The database was developed to contain information vital to any solvent application in one comprehensive source. It is for formulators to select ideal solvents and for safety coordinators to protect workers. Legislators and inspectors can also use the database to define and implement technically correct public safeguards on solvent use, handling, and disposal. There are five sections in this third edition as opposed to three in the previous. The extra sections were included as a result of customer suggestions.

Handbook of Solvents, Volume Two: Use, Health, and Environment, Third Edition, contains the most comprehensive information ever published on solvents and an extensive analysis of the principles of solvent selection and use. The book is intended to help formulators select ideal solvents, safety coordinators protect workers, and legislators and inspectors define and implement public safeguards on solvent usage, handling and disposal. The book begins with a discussion of solvent use in over 30 industries, which are the main consumers of solvents. The analysis is conducted based on available data and contains information on the types of solvents used and potential problems and solutions. In addition, the possibilities for solvent substitution are also discussed, with an emphasis on supercritical solvents, ionic liquids, ionic melts, and agriculture-based products. Assists in solvent selection by providing key information and insight on environmental and safety issues Provides essential best practice guidance for human health considerations Discusses the latest advances and trends in solvent technology, including modern methods of cleaning contaminated soils, selection of gloves, suits and respirators

Keeping pace with current trends in solvent production, this volume builds upon its previous edition with broader coverage of safe handling practices, health effects, physical properties, and chemical synthesis routes to some of the most important organic solvents used in the chemical and allied process industries. This handy reference features a glossary of solvent terminology and an easy-to-reference index of synonyms for chemicals and solvents. The Second Edition features new and updated chapters on the major classes of organic solvents, descriptions for general use, and the chemical formulation, thermodynamic properties, health and toxicity, and combustible characteristics of solvents.

This handbook will be of special interest to: Solvent Formulators/Manufacturers ? Industrial and Environmental ChemistsIndustrial Hygienists ? Safety Regulators ? Purchasing AgentsThis reference serves as an integrated reference tool for decision making in formulation, purchasing, and the understanding of safety issues by providing current and in-depth information on solvent products. It comprehensively describes more than 3000 trade name products and chemicals that are used as solvents in all aspects of industry including:Industrial and Consumer Cleaning/Degreasing ?
