Preface

The specialty chemical industry is focused on the development of chemicals and materials from the
perspective of function and market value. The emphasis is not on the empirical structure of these
chemicals, but on how they serve end-user markets. The growth of specialty chemicals, an almost $400
billion global industry, is tied to exploring and expanding functions and applications for both new and
existing chemicals that can serve traditional and niche markets, as well as bringing these chemicals to
new geographic markets. Competition in this global market is fierce and is mainly driven by research,
development, innovation, and production factors based on the manufacturer’s size, scale, and cost
position.
It is essential for those involved in the production and distribution of specialty chemicals to have ready
access to a reference that contains integrated information on these chemicals, their properties,
functional and application market sectors, manufacturers and distributors. Specialty Chemicals Source
Book, now in its Third Edition, serves this purpose. It has been extensively revised and expanded and
now contains approximately 15,000 monographs on this group of chemicals with 48,000 cross-
referenced chemical synonyms, and almost 53,000 trade name equivalents.
For the last 20 years, Synapse Information Resources has established itself as a primary source for
information on trade name and generic chemical products. Data from technical specification sheets,
brochures, and MSDS from over 4,000 chemical manufacturers and their branches are collected,
processed and updated on a continuous basis. This research has yielded comprehensive profiles on the
generic chemicals contained in this reference that are currently used in a variety of formulated end
products. This two-volume reference profiles these chemicals, lists and fully cross-references their
chemical and trade name synonyms, and presents full contact information for their generic and trade
name chemical manufacturers (including email and internet addresses).
Spanning diverse chemical functions and applications, this Source Book describes chemicals used in all
aspects of industry including: adhesives/sealants, agriculture, anticorrosion chemicals, cosmetics,
construction, electronics, food additives, food processing/packaging, industrial and consumer cleaning,
inks, lubricants, metal and mineral processing, oil field, paints/coatings, polishes, pharmaceuticals,
pigments/dyes/colorants, plastics/rubber, pulp/paper, specialty polymers, textiles, water management.
Specialty Chemicals Source Book-Third Edition contains the following sections:
Specialty Chemical Monographs contains approximately 15,000 specialty 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), FEMA, 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, trade name synonyms (including manufacturers in
brackets). All generic chemical synonyms and trade name synonyms are cross-referenced back to the
main monograph entry. The cross-references that are trade name chemicals are in italic type to
differentiate them from the generic chemical cross-references. Discontinued trade name products are
cited with a † symbol; unverified trade names are cited with a ‡ symbol; defunct manufacturers or
manufacturer divisions are cited with a ♦ symbol.
All entries containing references that are described in greater detail in another section are linked with
hypertext, e.g., Calight RPO [Calumet Lubricants http://www.calumetlubricants.com], a trade name
synonym in the Naphthenic oil monograph is linked to the "Calumet Lubricants" Manufacturers
Directory entry as well as that company's web site. You can either jump to that entry by clicking your
Specialty Chemicals Source Book-Third Edition v

mouse on the word "Calumet Lubricants." If you have internet access, you can also visit
www.calumetlubricants.com by clicking your mouse on it.
Functional/Application Index is a powerful tool for locating chemicals based on function and/or
industrial application area. By searching for key functional words such as catalyst, moisture scavenger,
or plasticizer; or application key words, such as inks, coatings, cosmetics, or thermoplastic resins, the
user is directed to the appropriate specialty chemical monograph. This section may be accessed as a
separate section of the book, listed by category containing hyperlinked entries to monographs or via the
Keyword Index dialog for even faster searching and browsing.
Manufacturers Directory contains detailed contact information for all manufacturers of the trade name
products and generic chemicals that are referenced in this Source Book. Wherever possible, telephone,
telefax, toll-free 800 numbers, e-mail and Internet addresses, and complete mailing addresses are
included for each manufacturer. Click on the internet address and access the manufacturers website or
click on the email address and send them a message ( if you are Internet enabled).
CAS Number Index contains CAS number entries followed by a listing of their generic chemical and
trade name product equivalents in alphabetical order. All entries are hyperlinked to the appropriate
products.
EINECS/ELINCS Number Index contains EINECS/ELINCS number entries followed by a listing of its
generic chemical and trade name product equivalents in alphabetical order. All entries are
hyperlinked to the appropriate products.
Chemical Formula Index contains the formulas of the chemicals in this reference alphabetically ordered
by their constituent elements. Note that in some cases there will be more than one chemical for each
formula because many chemicals have the same formula with positional variations (e.g., o-, m-, p-).
Glossary contains definitions of industrial chemical, toxicological, application and process terminology
that are used in this reference.
A Bibliography of reference sources is included.
We are confident that those involved in any aspect of the chemical industry will find this compendium an
important addition to their reference library. We are also pleased to provide this reference as an
electronic product.
This reference is the culmination of many years of research, investigation of product sources acquired
through personal contacts and correspondences with major chemical manufacturers worldwide, as well
as a dedicated staff researching toxicological databases, chemical reference books, trade
magazines/journals, and the internet.

NOTE

The information contained in this reference is accurate to the best of our knowledge; however,
no liability will be assumed by the publisher or the authors for the correctness or
comprehensiveness of such information. The determination of the suitability of these products
for prospective use is the responsibility of the user. It is herewith recommended that those
who plan to use any of the products referenced seek the manufacturers instructions for the
handling of that chemical.

Regulations and standards are complicated and are dependent on both the chemistry and the
application involved. Variation in laws and standards exist from country to country. The
ultimate decision on compliance must be made by the user with full understanding of the
application as well as working with the producer or distributor of the ingredients used in the
formulation.
