A portable and easy-to-use reference on reactive substances commonly found in commerce, Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities compiles hard-to-find data on over 11,000 chemical compounds, providing chemists, technicians, and engineers a thorough, lightning-quick resource to use during experimental preparation and in the event of an emergency.

More than a revision of the previous edition, this Third Edition has been rewritten and expanded to broaden coverage and improve its usefulness. It contains nearly 9,000 chemical incompatibility profiles and nearly 250 new entries, covering flammability, violent and explosive binary reactions, incompatibilities, and reactions that may result from physical change.

New for Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities:

• Chemicals that have the potential to cause disasters
• Chemical formulas and autoignition temperatures
• More flash points, as well as molecular formulas, lower and upper explosive limits, autoignition temperatures, and NFPA®-type (Red) numerical fire codes
• Safety reminders
• All entries keyed by CAS numbers to eliminate possible confusion among synonyms
• Spanish-, French-, and German-language entries for international use
• Revised glossary helps users who may not be chemists with general chemical terms
