The fully revised and expanded two volume fourth edition of Handbook of Industrial Surfactants provides detailed information on over 23,000 trade name chemicals and materials, as well as some 5,400 generic chemicals that function as surfactants or are used to manufacture surfactants. More than 50% of the entries in this edition are new or have been updated. The ionic classification index groups the surfactants based on their principal solubilizing group, consisting of four major classes: anionic, cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric, and their synergistic blends.

From the Preface: “...This two-volume reference set, in its fourth edition, serves to integrate information on surfactant chemicals and materials that are presently available throughout the world...Availability of a variety of surfactants from many different sources have added to the complexity of the research and selection process. By providing information gleaned from thousands of sources, this comprehensive reference is essential to all professionals involved in the surfactants field...”

Target Audience: Formulators, industrial and environmental chemists, manufacturers, product managers, safety regulators, purchasing agents, and other professionals involved with surfactant materials.
