Research and Markets: Handbook of Green Chemicals - Second Edition 2004.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com) has announced the addition of Handbook of Green Chemicals - Second Edition 2004 to their offering. More than 7000 products representing industry's response to environmental concerns and government regulations... The increase of environmental concerns and government regulations has spurred the chemical industry to innovation and reformulation of products that address a broad spectrum of human and environmental safety factors. Defining "green" chemicals is difficult because the concept encompasses a variety of factors: perception, empirical values, geographical area of use, the application for which they are used, available alternatives, and a knowledge of the total manufacturing process. The Handbook of Green Chemicals describes approximately 7000 trade names that provide one or more of the following green attributes: biodegradable biodegradable /bio·de·grad·a·ble/ (-de-grad´ah-b'l) susceptible of degradation by biological processes, as by bacterial or other enzymatic action. bi·o·de·grad·a·ble adj. , environmentally safe/friendly, recyclable re·cy·cle tr.v. re·cy·cled, re·cy·cling, re·cy·cles 1. To put or pass through a cycle again, as for further treatment. 2. To start a different cycle in. 3. a. , HAP's-free, low ozone-depleting/non-ozone-depleting, VOC-compliant/low-VOC/VOC-free, low global warming global warming, the gradual increase of the temperature of the earth's lower atmosphere as a result of the increase in greenhouse gases since the Industrial Revolution. , low vapour pressure chemicals, non-CFC/non-HCFC, SNAP, non-hazardous, SARA-non-reportable, halogen-free, non-carcinogenic, and non-toxic. Inclusion of products in this book was the result of a two-step process: Manufacturers were canvassed for products meeting criteria listed above. These products were then screened for identifiable green attributes. This Handbook is designed to serve as a starting point Noun 1. starting point - earliest limiting point terminus a quo commencement, get-go, offset, outset, showtime, starting time, beginning, start, kickoff, first - the time at which something is supposed to begin; "they got an early start"; "she knew from the and guideline guideline Medtalk A series of recommendations by a body of experts in a particular discipline.

Before making a final selection, all factors in the total process of product formulation formulation /for·mu·la·tion/ (for?mu-la´shun) the act or product of formulating.

The chemicals and materials included are used in every aspect of the chemical industry. The reference is organized so that the reader can access the information based on the trade name, chemical components, functions and application areas, green attributes, manufacturer, CAS number, and EINECS/ELINCS number. Industries Covered: - Adhesives - Refrigerants Chemical refrigerants are assigned an R number(sometimes the label replaces it with the word Freon) which is determined systematically according to molecular structure. The following is a list of refrigerants with their R numbers, IUPAC chemical name, molecular formula, and CAS number. - Water Treatment - Plastics - Rubber - Surfactants - Paints & Coatings - Food - Pharmaceuticals - Cosmetics - Petroleum Processing - Metal Treatment - Textiles For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c3186 |
