Advanced Cleaning Product Formulations, Vol. 4 (Hardcover, c1989-<c1996)

This book (Volume 4) presents more than 435 up-to-date advanced cleaning product formulations for household, industrial and automotive applications. It is the result of information received from numerous industrial companies and other organizations. 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. All formulations are completely different than those contained in Volumes 1 2 and 3 published earlier.

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 might meet new performance criteria.

Each formulation in the book lists the following information, as available, in the manufacturer's own words:

-Description of end use and most outstanding properties.

-The percent by weight or volume of each raw material included in the formula, rounded to a decimal figure.

-Key properties of the formula, which are the features that the source considers to be more outstanding than other formulations of the same type.

-The formula source, which is the company or organization that supplied the formula. The secondary source may be the originating company and/or the primary source's publication title, or both. A formula number is included, ifapplicable.
