The book presents a comprehensive discussion of the most common microbicides (approx. 300)
used for the protection of materials and processes against biodeterioration. The characteristics
of each microbicide, e.g. chemical and physical properties, effectiveness and spectrum of efficacy,
the knowledge of which is a prerequisite for the effective use of microbicides, are discussed. It is also
informed about the toxicity and ecotoxocity of the microbicides. The corresponding depth of knowledge
and experience makes uses of microbicides possible without damage to human health and environment.
The corresponding legislative aspects are regarded in a special chapter.
This new book is not a simple revised new edition (second) of the Handbook Microbicides for the Protection
of Materials which appeared in 1993.
This edition is divided into two parts. In Part One 23 contributions of worldwide selected experts present
extensively diversified information about:
- Microbicides with regard to the relationship between chemical structure and mode of action and activity,
- Research and development in consideration of registration procedures,
- Legislative aspects,
- The use of microbicides in the major application areas (18) which are described in detail.
The Microbicide Data is organized into 21 substance classes (e.g. alcohols, aldehydes, acids, amides, etc.)
and collected in Part Two.
Part One signifies an important perfection and increase in actuality. In part two, `Microbicide Data' is an eagerly
anticipated actual inventory of the old book. The combination of the two parts in one book is special and has
resulted in the most authoritative information in the field. Accordingly this book will be invaluable not only to
all those using microbicides, but also to teachers and students working in biodeterioration and anyone engaged
in research and development in the microbicide field.
Written for chemical industry involved in R&D, production and application of biocides/microbicides
and the corresponding industrial institutes and associations. Users of biocides/microbicides for the
protection of materials and processes against biodeterioration. Universities, teachers, students, Institutes;
scientific societies engaged in biodeterioration and its inhibition.
