The term "incompatibilities" describes a wide range of chemical reactions that produce undesirable results in noncontrolled situations: generation of toxic gases, fire, explosions, corrosive activity, polymerization, ruptured containers, creation of more dangerous compounds, etc. The Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities - 2nd Edition compiles hard-to-find data on over 11,000 chemical compounds, providing employers, chemists, technicians, and engineers a thorough, lightning-quick resource to use during experimental preparation and in the event of an emergency.

Complicated chemical information is approached in a convenient, easy-to-use format that helps readers make safe decisions quickly. The Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities - 2nd Edition remains a handy resource for all safety, first-response, and management personnel responsible for the handling, storage, and conveyance of chemical materials.
