Preface
The Handbook of Green Chemicals, now in its second edition, continues to be an important source
of information for those involved in all aspects of the chemical industry. It addresses the need for
industrial formulators and those concerned with safety issues to know which chemicals, as either trade
names or generic, can satisfy function and application demands while meeting specific environmental
and human safety requirements. Defining “green” chemicals is difficult and arbitrary because the concept
of ‘greenness’ encompasses a variety of factors: perception, empirical values, geographical area of use,
the application for which they are used, available alternatives, and a knowledge of the total
manufacturing process.
This reference describes more than 9500 trade names, chemicals, and materials that provide one or
more of the following green attributes: partially or completely biodegradable, environmentally
safe/friendly, EPA Exempt, halogen-free, HAP’s-free, low global warming, low ozone-
depleting/nonozone-depleting, low vapor pressure, noncarcinogenic, non-CFC/non-HCFC,
nonhazardous, nontoxic, recyclable, SARA-nonreportable for one or more of its sections (see Glossary),
SNAP, and VOC-compliant/low-VOC/VOC-free. The chemicals and materials included here represent
products from manufacturers that have been screened for one or more identifiable green attributes.
This Handbook is designed to serve as a starting point and guideline in the decision-making process of
chemical and material selection. Before making a final selection, all factors in the total process of
product formulation must be considered, along with the government regulations that pertain to the
specified application and site of use.
The chemicals and materials included are used in every aspect of the chemical industry. The reference
is organized so that the reader can access the information based on the trade name, chemical
components, ‘green’ attributes, functions and application areas, manufacturer, CAS number, and
EINECS/ELINCS number.
Handbook of Green Chemicals-Second Edition contains the following sections:
Trade Name Reference provides an alphabetical listing of more than 7000 trade name chemicals that
are identifiable as ‘green’. Each entry includes the manufacturer’s name; chemical/material description;
its detailed functions and applications in all aspects of industry; physical properties, such as form,
molecular weight, density, solubility, boiling point, cloud point, flash point, pH, freezing point, activity;
toxicology, storage, precautions, etc. The amount of information for each trade name varies as a function
of availability from the manufacturer.
All entries containing references that are described in greater detail in another section are linked with
hypertext, e.g., in the Trade Name Products section, Bioban® BP-Plus is described with links to other
parts of the reference and the Internet:

The information contained in this reference is accurate to the best of our knowledge; however,
no liability will be assumed by the publisher or the authors for the correctness or
comprehensiveness of such information. The determination of the suitability of these products
for prospective use is the responsibility of the user. It is herewith recommended that those who
plan to use any of the products referenced seek the manufacturers instructions for the handling
of that chemical.
Regulations and standards are complicated and are dependent on both the chemistry and the
application involved. Variation in laws and standards exist from country to country. The
ultimate decision on compliance must be made by the user with full understanding of the
application as well as working with the producer or distributor of the ingredients used in the
formulation.
