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:
Bioban® BP-Plus [Dow http://www.dow.com]

Chemical Component Cross Reference covers more than 2500 chemicals, materials, and synonyms
that are contained in the trade name products profiled in the Trade Name Reference or have been
identified as satisfying one or more of the criteria contained in the Green Attribute Cross-Reference.
Each monograph entry contains information including the following: CAS, EINECS/ELINCS, and UN/DOT
reference numbers, classification, definition, chemical synonyms, empirical and molecular formulas,
properties, toxicology, precautions, storage, uses, use level, regulatory details, manufacturers and
distributors. Thousands of chemical/material synonyms are cross-referenced back to the main entry.
Entries are followed by a listing of the trade name products that are either equivalent to the chemical
entry or contain the chemical as one of its ingredients.
Green Attribute Cross Reference groups the trade name chemicals by one or more of the
aforementioned 16 green chemical attributes. All entries are hyperlinked to the appropriate products.
Functional/Application Cross Reference is a powerful tool for locating chemicals and trade names
based on function and/or application area. By searching for key functional words such as solvent,
diluent, intermediate, carrier in specific application areas such as cosmetics, pesticides, dry cleaning,
metal cleaning, etc., the user is directed to the trade names and/or chemicals that have that specific
functional/application attribute.
Manufacturers Directory contains detailed contact information for all manufacturers of the trade name
products and generic chemicals that are referenced in this Handbook. Wherever possible, telephone,
telefax, toll-free 800 numbers, e-mail and Internet addresses, and complete mailing addresses are
included for each manufacturer.
CAS Number Index contains CAS number entries followed by a listing of their generic chemical and
trade name product equivalents in alphabetical order. All entries are hyperlinked to the appropriate
products.
EINECS/ELINCS Number Index contains EINECS/ELINCS number entries followed by a listing of its
generic chemical and trade name product equivalents in alphabetical order. All entries are hyperlinked
to the appropriate products.
Glossary contains definitions of terminology associated with green chemicals and environmental issues.
We are confident that those involved in any aspect of the chemical industry will find this compendium
unparalleled in detail and scope for the coverage of green trade name chemicals available in the
international marketplace.
