Synopsis
This databook contains all 4 groups of biocides included in Article 95, prepared as of March 31, 2015: disinfectants (Human hygiene; Disinfectants and algaecides not intended for direct application to humans or animals; Veterinary hygiene; Food and feed area; and Drinking water), Preservatives (Preservatives for products during storage; Film preservatives; Wood preservatives; Fibre, leather, rubber and polymerised materials preservatives; Construction material preservatives; Preservatives for liquid-cooling and processing systems; Slimicides; and Working or cutting fluid preservatives), Pest control (Rodenticides; Avicides; Molluscicides, vermicides and products to control other invertebrates; Piscicides; Insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods; Repellents and attractants; and Control of other vertebrates) and Other biocidal products (Antifouling products and Embalming and taxidermist fluids). The information on each biostabilizer included in the Databook of Biocides is divided into five sections: General information, Physical properties, Health and safety, Ecological properties, and Use & Performance. The data belong to over 100 data fields, which accommodate a variety of data available in source publications. The description of each section below gives more detail on the composition of information. In General information section, the following data are displayed: name, CAS #, EC number, Acronym, Chemical category, Common name, Common synonym, IUPAC name, Molecular structure, Molecular formula, Molecular mass, Mixture, RTECS number, Product contents, Used in US, Used in EU Physical-chemical properties section contains data on State, Odor, Color, Boiling point, Melting point, Coefficients of Antoine equation: A, B C, Density, Relative permittivity, Hansen solubility parameters, Hildebrand solubility parameter, Henry's law constant, pH, Refractive index, pH, Surface tension, Solubility in water and solvents, Specific heat, Vapor density, Vapor pressure, Viscosity Health and safety section contains data on Flash point, Flash point method, Autoignition temperature, Explosive LEL, Explosive UEL, NFPA Health, NFPA Flammability, NFPA Reactivity, HMIS Health, HMIS Fire, HMIS Reactivity, HMIS Personal protection, UN number, UN Risk Phrases, R, UN Safety Phrases, S, DOT Hazard Class, UN/NA hazard class, UN packaging group, ICAO/IATA Class, IMDG Class, TDG class, Proper shipping name, Rat oral LD50, Mouse oral LD50, Rabbit dermal LD50, Inhalation rat LC50, Route of entry, Skin irritation, Eye irritation (human), Ingestion, Inhalation, First aid: eyes, skin, and inhalation, Target organs, Carcinogenicity by IARC, NTP, and OSHA, Mutagenicity, Reproduction/Developmental toxicity, and TLV - TWA 8h (ACGIH, NIOSH, OSHA) Ecological properties section contains data on Biodegradation probability, Aquatic toxicity LC50 (Algae, Rainbow trout, Bluegill sunfish, Fathead minnow, and Daphnia magna, Zebra fish), Bioconcentration factor, and Partition coefficient (log Kow). Use & performance section contains information on Manufacturer, Outstanding properties, Recommended for polymers, Recommended for products, Features & benefits, Active against microorganisms, Concentration of active ingredients All biocides from Article 95 list are arranged in the alphabetical order. This book is must to have for manufacturers of biocides, manufacturers of products containing biocidal preparations designed for various purposes as listed above, regulating bodies, academia, and research laboratories. The databook contains information which is complete, timely, up-to-date, useful in numerous fields of application and for thousands of manufactures and products.
