A FORMULARY OF DETERGENTS AND OTHER CLEANING AGENTS Compiled by Michael and Irene Ash Chemical Publishing Co. New York, N.Y.© 1980 Chemical Publishing Co., Inc. ISBN 0-8206-0369-4 (pb) Printed in the United States of AmericaPREFACE Through the cooperation of the contributors of the major surfactant- producing corporations, we are pleased to present a formulary devoted entirely to a variety of cleaning agents. The purpose of this compilation is not to educate the reader as to the physical and chemical nature of deter- gent ingredients but to make available a catalogue of formulas reflecting the current technology in the surfactant industry. The formulas herein should be considered starting-point preparations and thereby used as the basis for further experimentation in the develop- ment of new detergent products. The book is organized so that each chapter deals with major detergent applications. Within each chapter the formulas are further subdivided according to their hydrophilic nature which determines their mode of ac- tivity. These four categories are: anionic, nonionic, cationic, and ampho- teric. Unless otherwise specified, all formulas have the quantities of ingre- dients given in parts by weight. A list of abbreviations that are used throughout the formulary is included. All constituents appearing by their tradename are printed in boldface type, and the manufacturers’ names and addresses appear after the list of alphabetized tradenames in the appendix. iiiABBREVIATIONS See eeetetet at approximately .. aqueous easter Baume nies degrees Centigrade see .cubic centimer ete centimer - .concentrated centerpoise(s) ite +++ centistoke . . degrees Fahrenheit : . . fluid ounce . medium : + sminute . +. minimum . -milliliter - -millimeter . melting point . ..- neutralized National Formulary Sebel defe cet ec reiatac number oil in water wees ences ees OUNCE pevereaten! polyoxyethylene Sere ees parts per million . quantity sufficient to make .... revolutions per minuteABBREVIATIONS Twaddell United States Pharmacopeia viscosity water in oil . oe.
