Handbook of
Green Chemicals
Second Edition • compiled by
Michael and Irene Ash

Features:

• More than 7,000 trade name products
• More than 2,500 generic products with 8,300 fully cross-referenced synonyms (hypertext in software)
• GREEN Attributes Cross Reference
• More than 31,000 Functional/Application Categories in a detailed index format
• CAS, EINECS/ELINCS number and Chemical Formula index

This volume is designed to serve as a starting point and guideline in the decision-making process of chemical and material selection.

This reference describes approximately 7,000 trade names that provide one or more of the following green attributes: • Biodegradable • Environmentally safe/friendly • Recyclable • HAP’s-free • Low ozone-depleting/nonozone-depleting • VOC-compliant/low-VOC/VOC-free • Low global warming • Low vapor pressure chemicals • Non-CFC/non-HCFC • SNAP • Nonhazardous • SARA-nonreportable • Halogen-free • Noncarcinogenic • Nontoxic

The handbook is organized so that the reader can access the information based on the trade name, chemical components, functions and application areas, green attributes, manufacturer, CAS number, and EINECS/ELINCS number.

Contents

1. Trade Name Reference
   This section provides an alphabetical listing of trade names identifiable as green. Each entry includes the manufacturer’s name; chemical/material description; its detailed functions and applications in all aspects of industry; physical properties, such as form, molecular weight, density, solubility, boiling point, cloud point, flash point, pH, freezing point, activity; toxicology, storage, precautions, etc.

   Software features: Full-text Search with Boolean operator support
   Keyword Indexes: Comprehensive Index, Trade Name X-Ref, Generic Chemical X-Ref, Manufacturers X-Ref, CAS X-Ref, EINECS/ELINCS X-Ref, Functional/Applications X-Ref., Environmental/GREEN Attributes X-Ref., Toxicity and Precautions X-Ref.
   Hyperlinking: Trade names to MFG-Branch and Generic chemicals section

2. Generic Products, Trade Name Cross-Reference covers more than 2,500 chemicals/materials that are contained in the trade name products section.
   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 (linked to the Manufacturers Directory)
   All chemical/material synonyms are cross-referenced back to the main entry. These entries are followed by a listing of the trade name products (linked to the Trade Name Products section) that are either equivalent to the monograph entry or contain it as one or more of its ingredients.

3. Green Attribute Cross-Reference groups the trade name chemicals by one or more of 15 green chemical attributes:
   • Biodegradable
   • Environmentally Safe • Environmentally Friendly
   • Halogen-Free
   • HAP's-Free
   • Low Global Warming
   • Low Ozone-Depleting • Nonozone-Depleting
   • Low Vapor Pressure
   • Noncarcinogenic
   • Non-CFC • Non-HCFC
   • Nonhazardous
   • Nontoxic
   • Recyclable
   • SARA-Nonreportable
   • SNAP (Significant New Alternative Policy) Compliant
   • VOC-Compliant • Low-VOC • VOC-Free

4. Functional/Application Classification Index
   This section, with more than 31,000 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.

5. Manufacturers Directory
   An alphabetical listing of the international chemical manufacturers of the trade name products and chemical components is provided in this section. Each entry includes branch locations and contact information. Wherever possible, telephone, telefax, toll-free 800 numbers, E-mail and Internet addresses, and complete mailing addresses are included for each manufacturer.
