PART II—Chemical/Material Monographs with Trade Name Cross-Reference

This section covers more than 650 chemicals/materials used as fillers, extenders, and diluents.

Each entry contains information including the following:

• CAS (Chemical Abstract Service)
• EINECS/ELINCS (European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances/European List of Notified Chemical Substances)
• UN/DOT reference numbers
• classification
• definition
• chemical synonyms
• empirical and molecular formulas
• properties
• toxicology
• precautions
• storage
• uses
• use level
• regulatory details
• manufacturers and distributors

All chemical/material synonyms are cross-referenced back to the main entry. These 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.

PART III—Functional/Application Classification Index

This section, with more than 4,100 categories, is a powerful tool for locating materials based on their function and/or industrial application area. By searching for key functional words such as filler, reinforcement, diluent, bulking agents, extender, etc., combined with a specific application area, such as polystyrene, tires, cosmetics, coatings, etc., the user is directed to the trade names and/or chemicals and materials that have that specific functional/application attribute. The generic component names are distinguished from the trade names by italic type.
