Databook of Solvents

Databook of Solvents, written by George Wypych and published by ChemTec Publishing in 2024, compiles technical data for more than 280 essential solvents. The book addresses the daily operational requirements of lab and field workers by organizing property data into clear, accessible chemical profiles.

Physical evaluations within the volume catalog key properties including boiling temperature, dielectric constant, electrical conductivity, surface tension, heat of combustion, corrosivity, color, and odor. Workplace safety profiles detail hazard information, documenting carcinogenicity, flammability, explosion limits, reactivity, packaging group designations, ingestion hazards, skin irritation, and eye irritation.

The volume provides practical guidance for direct laboratory and field application, including recommended dosages for specific processing tasks. By detailing physical traits alongside specific health hazards, the publication enables technical personnel to assess chemical behavior accurately during routine testing and industrial operations.
