2. Generic Products, Trade Name Cross-Reference
   This section covers more than 2,200 chemicals and materials that are contained in the trade name products profiled in Part I or generic chemicals that are not linked to trade names but are used in the formulation of adhesives. Each entry contains information including the following: CAS, EINECS/ELINCS, and UN/DOT numbers, classification, definition, synonyms, formulas, properties, toxicology, precautions, storage, uses, use level, regulatory details, manufacturers and distributors. Chemical/material synonyms are cross-referenced back to the main entry. Entries are followed by a listing of the trade name products that are either equivalent to the monograph entry or contain it as one or more of its ingredients. Manufacturing and distribution sources for the generic chemical are also included.
