This book presents a collection of the properties of 72 solvents commonly used in industry. These properties indicate the suitability of solvents answering the questions: Will it do the job? Will it harm the user? Will it pollute the air? Is it easy to handle? These are factors which need to be considered in the early stages of choosing a solvent for a new product or process and are therefore the information required by a development chemist or chemical engineer as well as by those working in the field of controlling pollution arising from VOCs. An excellent cross-referencing resource. Each solvent is fully cross-referenced.
