The Handbook of Rheology Modifiers contains the most comprehensive collection of information on more than 9,000 trade name and generic chemicals that are used to modify rheology across a broad range of industries and end-use applications. The book eliminates the need to collect data from multiple suppliers and can save countless hours spent perusing individual specification sheets. The products listed in the book are cross-referenced by chemical names, chemical synonyms, functions and applications, CAS number, and EINECS number. Products covered include gellants and antigellants, flow aids, flow control agents, thickeners, thinners, thixotropes, viscosity builders, viscosity control agents, and viscosity reducers.

From the Preface: “...Rheology modifiers span the full spectrum of applications ranging from food, personal care and pharmaceutical to oil field and drilling chemicals, inks, polymers, clays, paints, cement and concrete. In all these various industries, the common objective is to achieve the desired flow consistency of the end product. Entries in this reference for both trade names and generic chemicals contain comprehensive descriptions as well as detailed contact information on suppliers of these chemicals/materials...”
