This is the first single-volume handbook with the information a researcher needs to select
the best rheology modifiers for their project. This book contains information on 20 different types of
rheology modifiers manufactured by 26 companies worldwide. These range from
Acrylic Polymers to Xanthan Gum.
A single source guide to selecting and using the right rheology modifiers, for engineers,
research scientists and technicians in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and
household/industrial applications. This book will enable readers to easily identify the
best candidates for an application with a minimum investment of time.
Features:
- Highly practical book containing ready-to-use information on rheology modifiers
- Step-by-step guide provides all the information needed to select the right agent for each
type of application - and shows how to use it
- Saves valuable research time by eliminating the need to contact multiple suppliers and
peruse their catalogs and product sheets
- Appendix contains addresses, telephone and fax numbers, email addresses, and websites of
manufacturers, plus a trade name directory
