The Handbook of Industrial Chemical Additives, Second Edition is a comprehensive, up-to-date source of information on functional additive chemicals and materials used in the formulation of the full spectrum of worldwide chemical products. An additive can be a primary ingredient that forms an integral part of the end product’s basic characteristics or a secondary ingredient that functions to improve performance and/or durability.
Since the publication of the First Edition of this Handbook, our data collection and processing methods have kept pace with changes in information technology. The result is a radically expanded edition that stretches the definition of the word ‘handbook’ as it spans three oversized volumes. However, because of the widespread use of the first edition, it was important to maintain the paradigm of centralizing functional chemical additive information.
