Brand new to the Industrial Game Helpful information, links or suggestions?

[Slimpikins976]

Hello I am a little fresh to both the industrial application field of chemistry and to this website. I have a BS in Chemistry and have managed a QA lab in the petroleum field for the previous five years and have around 10 years relevant lab experience. Recently I have accepted a position to launch a QA lab from scratch for a company that imports and repackages chemicals in bulk as well as creates blends of there imported products. I am going to be doing small scale experiments and then move these processes to a large scale of 45,000 lbs in a large mix tank. I am not re-inventing the wheel, and will be doing very basic applications like taking Calcium Chloride Flake and going from 77% solid to say a 38% solution as an example, or cutting 93% sulfuric acid to 70 % in a 300 gallon scale. I am looking for any helpful suggestions or links for common products like (Sulfuric acid, Bleach, Ethylene glycol, etc) density/ strength charts, etc. I have done lots of reading and did not know if anyone could point me into the correct direction for gaining relevant information like this. The problem is I am finding either vague information online or several sets of data that contradict themselves.

Raw material suppliers are always very helpful. Call them. Develop the relationship.

Very specific questions work best on ET. This question is more of a "shot gun" approach.

Good luck,
