A decade after the bestselling original, the Handbook for Critical Cleaning, Second Edition helps manufacturers meet today’s challenges, providing practical information and perspective about cleaning chemistries, equipment, processes, and applications. With 90% new or revised chapters plus supplementary online material, the Handbook has grown into two comprehensive volumes, Cleaning Agents and Systems and Applications, Processes, and Controls.

Helping manufacturers become more efficient and productive, these books:

• Show how to increase profitability and meet both existing and expected product demand

• Clarify the sea of print and Internet information about cleaning chemistries and techniques

• Address challenges of performance, miniaturization and cost, as well as regulatory and supply chain pressures

• Offer clearly written guidance from the viewpoints of more than 70 leading industry contributors in technical, management, academic, and regulatory disciplines

Overview chapters by the editors, industry icons Barbara and Ed Kanegsberg, meld the different viewpoints and compile and critique the options. The result is a complete, cohesive, balanced perspective that helps manufacturers better select, implement, and maintain a quality, value-added cleaning process.

The first volume, Handbook for Critical Cleaning: Cleaning Agents and Systems gives manufacturers a practical understanding of the variety and functions of cleaning chemistries and cleaning, rinsing and drying equipment. Topics include aqueous, solvent, and “non-chemical” approaches. Readers can compare process costs, performance, and regulatory issues and then choose their best option.
