The Condensed Encyclopedia of Surfactants cover


Preface - This single-volume compendium fulfills the demand for a compact version of thewidely acclaimed Encyclopedia of Surfactants and contains over 12,000 entries. Thesurfactant products included have been compiled with. the cooperation of the majornational 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 chemicalresearch is the addition of the Chemical Component-to-Tradename Cross Referencesection. This provides the user with the capability of finding tradename surfactantproducts that contain specific chemical compounds. For example, by locating alphabeticallythe chemical ammonium lauryl sulfate, the user is able to retrieve a list of all thetradename products that contain that chemical. The user can then refer back to the frrstsection for detailed descriptions of the specific tradename products listed here.This section also includes the chemical compound synonyms for the surfactantcomponents which are cross referenced in most cases to the alternate chemical names thatcontain the tradename product listings. Primary chemical component references are madeto the CTFA (Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association) adopted names wherepossible. For many chemical entries the Chemical Abstract Service Registry Numbers(CAS) are given. This number ensures the unique identification of a chemical regardlessof its multiplicity of synonyms. RD (Recognized Disclosure) reference numbers areincluded in some cases either in addition to the CAS number or because no CAS numberhas been assigned as yet.The third section presents the names and addresses of the manufacturers of all of theproducts included in this compendium with their associated tradenames.
