Both the reference and CD are designed to function as a selection tool for papermaking additives at all points of the process. They centralize information on currently available chemicals from the major manufacturers of these products by profiling both trade name and generic chemicals, detailing their properties, uses, use levels, regulatory status, toxicology, sources for purchase, etc.

Handbook of Paper and Pulp Chemicals includes information on process additives that improve the operation of the paper machine (retention and drainage aids, biocides, dispersants, and defoamers); functional additives that improve the properties of the paper product (fillers, sizing agents, colorants and dyes, optical brighteners, and wet-strength and dry-strength additives), and effluent mitigating chemicals (sludge conditioners and wastewater antifoamers/defoamers).

Contents

PART I-Trade Name Reference

Trade Name Reference provides an alphabetical listing of more than 5800 trade name chemicals and materials that are used in adhesive products. 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.

PART II-Generic Products, Trade Name Cross-Reference

This section covers more than 2200 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 (Chemical Abstract Service), EINECS/ELINCS (European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances/European List of Notified Chemical Substances), and 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 is a powerful tool for locating the trade names and chemicals based on their function and/or industrial application area. By searching for key functional words such as dyes, optical brighteners, sizing agent, deposit control agent, water repellants, etc., combined with a specific application area, such as coatings, furnishes, paper mill effluents etc., the user is directed to the trade names and/or chemicals that have that specific functional/application attribute. The generic component names are distinguished from the trade names by italic type.

Part IV-Manufacturers Directory

The directory contains detailed contact information for the more than 2400 worldwide manufacturers and their branches of trade name products and chemical components that are referenced in this handbook. Wherever possible, telephone, telefax, toll-free numbers, e-mail and Internet addresses, and complete mailing addresses are included for each manufacturer.
