Rheological additives are of interest to many industries, including paints, coatings, cosmetics, mortars, cementitious products, various polymer processing methods, sealants, inks, greases, drilling, packaging, and food products, to name some of the most important. Their selection and applications change and require frequent updates.

 

The Databook of Rheological Additives is frequently used in combination with the Handbook of Rheological Additives. Both books do not overlap but complement each other, providing together comprehensive information on rheological additives.

 

The information on over 330 organic and inorganic additives is presented in individual tables for each product (either commercial or generic). There are over 30 chemical groups of additives included in this review. The data are divided into 5 groups, including General Information, Physical Properties, Health & Safety, Ecological Properties, and Use & Performance. The following information is included in each Section if available in the source(s) of data.

 

General Information: name, CAS #, EC #, IUPAC name, common name, common synonyms, acronym, biobased, cellulose functionality, charge, degree of substitution, empirical formula, chemical structure, molecular mass, RTECS number, chemical category, product class, product composition, moisture content, and solids content.

 

Physical Properties: state, odor, color, bulk density, density, specific gravity, relative density, boiling point, melting point, pour point, decomposition temperature, glass transition temperature, refractive index, vapor pressure, vapor density, volume resistivity, relative permittivity, ash content, pH, viscosity, rheological behavior, absolute viscosity, surface tension, hydration time, solubility in solvents, solubility in water, the heat of combustion, the heat of decomposition, specific heat, thermal conductivity, Henry's law constant, particle size, and volatility.

 

Health & Safety: NFPA classification, HMIS classification, OSHA hazard class, UN Risk phrases, UN Safety phrases, UN/NA class, DOT class, ADR/RIC class, ICAO/IATA class, IMDG class, packaging group, shipping name, food approvals, autoignition temperature, self-accelerating decomposition temperature, flash point, TLV ACGIH, NIOSH and OSHA, maximum exposure concentration IDLH, animal testing oral-rat, rabbit-dermal, mouse-oral, guinea pig-dermal, rat-dermal, rat-inhalation, mouse-inhalation, ingestion, skin irritation, eye irritation, inhalation, first aid eye, skin, and inhalation, carcinogenicity IARC, NTP, OSHA, ACGIH, and mutagenicity.

 

Ecological Properties: biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, theoretical oxygen demand, biodegradation probability, aquatic toxicity algae, Rainbow trout, Sheepshead minnow, Fathead minnow, and Daphnia magna, and partition coefficient.

 

Use & Performance: manufacturer, product feature, recommended for polymers, recommended for products, outstanding properties, compatibility, limitations, a typical reason for use, processing methods, the concentration used, storage temperature, and food approval.
