Databook of Solvents, Third Edition has been revised to include all of the most-used high-production volume solvents. It contains a large set of data for each, with information divided into five sections, including General; Physical; Health; Environmental; and Use. The General section covers data such as name, CAS number, empirical formula, mixture, moisture contents, properties, EC number, and more. The Physical section includes data such as dielectric constant, boiling temperature, color, corrosivity, electrical conductivity, heat of combustion, odor, surface tension, and more. The Health section features data on carcinogenicity, packaging group, explosion limits, flammability, reactivity, ingestion, skin and eye irritation, and more. The Environmental section highlights data on biodegradation probability, chemical oxygen demand, global warming potential, soil absorption constant, UV absorption, and more. Finally, the Use section features data on manufacturer, outstanding properties, potential substitutes, processing methods, and more.Further information which may help in the replacement of these solvents can be found in the complementary Databook of Green Solvents, and readers interested in the subject should note that two volumes of fundamental treatment of all essential areas of solvent use have also been published, Handbook of Solvents Volume 1: Properties, and Handbook of Solvents Volume 2: Use, Health, and Environment. Together these four books provide the most wide-ranging and authoritative information on the subject of solvents.- Covers more than 280 of the most essential solvents- Provides practical information for use in the lab and the field, including recommended processing methods, dosages, and potential substitutes- Presents environmental considerations, thus enabling practitioners to find more efficient replacements for toxic solvents
