If you want to know: what fillers are safe to use in tablets and capsules for pharmaceuticals, what choice of fillers are available for tire applications, what extenders are suitable for paints and coatings, or what diluents to use in adhesives and sealants, use this comprehensive source of information. It describes more than 2000 trade names, chemicals, and materials that serve the primary function of lowering the overall cost of the end products to which they are added. These ingredients are often selected based on secondary, property-enhancing functions. In the paper industry they are used to improve brightness, increase opacity, and reduce porosity. In paints, often referred to as inerts, extenders, and supplemental pigments, they are used to increase color, hiding power, weatherability and control viscosity. Fillers in plastics and polymers impart impact strength, lubricity, electrical and thermal properties. Diluents, besides supplying bulk to detergents, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, act to adjust dose or concentration.

This best-selling handbook has been extensive and describes more than 4500 trade name and more than 3000 generic chemical components that are used in the formulation of both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. These additives enable or enhance the therapeutic delivery of the active ingredients in a variety of medications that include orals, topicals, suppositories, injectables, inhalants, etc. The chemical and material additives contained in this reference serve to: improve flow, taste, appearance; aid product uniformity; increase stability; and control bioavailability.
