Description: "Gardner's features a comprehensive selection of chemicals. The main criterion for inclusion in Gardner's is a material's importance as a commercially available chemical. Thus all bulk inorganic chemicals, major pesticides, dyestuffs, surfactants, metals and alloys are included. The 5,000 highest volume chemicals in the US, as defined by application of the Toxic Substances Control Act, are all represented."--BOOK JACKET. "Almost all records describing pure chemicals now carry the appropriate CAS Registry Number and the associated EINECS Number. In addition, the Merck Index Number is provided for all chemicals which also appear in the Twelfth Edition of the Merck Index."--BOOK JACKET. "Entries, wherever possible, contain detailed information on chemical composition, functions, applications and suppliers. A feature new to this edition is the inclusion of physical property data for pure chemicals. Data that has been provided, as available, includes the melting point, boiling point, density or specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation, ultraviolet absorption, solubility and acute toxicity."--Jacket.
