PART I-Trade Name Reference

Trade Name Reference provides an alphabetical listing on more than 8700 trade name chemicals and materials that are used in formulations requiring lubrication as a key or ancillary function. 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

Part II-Chemical Component Cross-Reference

Chemical Component Cross-Reference covers more than 2700 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 textile processing chemicals. 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 Index

Functional/Application Index 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 related to textile processing such as emulsifier, fixing agent, flame retardant, optical brightener, scouring agent, and specific application areas such as fabric finishes, dyeing, warp sizes, fiber lubricants, 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 in the book and color in the software.
