The Aqueous Cleaning Handbook, authored by several members of Alconox Inc., has undergone an update. Now in its 5th edition, the handbook distills and presents practical information covering the history of aqueous detergents — what they are, how they work, and how to make best use of them.

Alconox Inc. is a New York-based firm that has been a leading global supplier of aqueous cleaners for laboratory, healthcare, industrial and related applications for over 75 years.  The handbook’s latest edition has been updated by the authors Michael J. Moussourakis, Jeff I. Phillips, Stacy R. Silverstein, and Malcolm C. McLaughlin.

“We are excited to update The Aqueous Cleaning Handbook for our customers and the wider industry,” says lead author, Michael J. Moussourakis, Vice President, Technical Marketing and Strategy at Alconox Inc.  “With the increasing demand for critical cleaning solutions in various industries, this book is a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, technicians, and everyone involved in the critical cleaning of parts and surfaces.”

Elliot M. Lebowitz, Alconox Inc. Chief Operating Officer, says, “The time and effort that our team put into this edition was inspiring. As a partner in this 76-year-old family-owned business, it makes me so proud.”

“This is a very approachable handbook with elements for those facing advanced cleaning issues for the first time as well as useful sections for the well-initiated,” adds Stuart B. Katz, CEO, Alconox Inc. and lead editor.

The Aqueous Cleaning Handbook, published by AI Technical Communications, is currently available in digital formats and can be downloaded on the Alconox Inc. website.  The digital book will also be available from selected distributors including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
