“Formulation is a key process in the overall lifecycle so that products are delivered that are of the right quality, at a competitive cost, and are made available within the specified time scale. …Not only are formulations much more complex but there are many restrictions on the types of raw materials that can be used, for example, biodegradability in the case of surfactants. … The book is designed to give ‘an overview of the full range of detergent formulations used today . . . to provide the reader with some general guidance on formulation approaches.’ It covers a wide range of detergents and starts by outlining the function of the different raw materials found in detergents. … There is a comprehensive index and a wealth of references at the end of each chapter. The book will be of help to development chemists looking for leads in the formulation of a wide range of detergent products … ” —Richard Farn, consultant and former director of the British Association for Chemical Specialities, in Chemistry & Industry, December 2006
