Specialty chemicals, a $400 billion global industry, focuses on the development of chemicals and materials from the perspective of function and market value. The emphasis is not on the chemical structure of the products, but on how they serve end user markets. Growth for specialty chemicals is tied to exploring and expanding functions and applications for new and existing chemicals that can serve both traditional and niche markets. This new edition has been extensively revised and now contains approximately 15,000 chemical monographs, 48,000 chemical synonyms and 53,000 trade name equivalents.
