This book presents over 400 manufacturers' suggested formulations which are intended to meet rigorous performance criteria. Cleaning products for industrial, household, and automotive applications are featured — all formulations are new to this volume. Each formulation lists information such as end-use markets, raw material percentage by weight or volume, key properties, source of the formula, and more.

From the Preface: “...The data represent selections made at no cost to, nor influence from, the makers or distributors of these materials. Only the most recent formulas have been included...Formulation in the cleaning product industry has gradually been undergoing significant change during the past years. Raw materials costs have risen and manufacturers have been reluctant to pass along these increases. Environmental considerations have also played a part. By changing formulations to improve cost/performance characteristics, manufacturers have been able to control costs but still enhance performance. This book presents manufacturers' suggested formulations which meet new performance criteria...”

Target Audience: Technical and managerial personnel in cleaning product manufacturing companies and firms which supply raw materials or services to these companies.
