This collection consists of a large number of handbooks and product specification brochures from chemical and chemical apparatus manufacturing companies assembled by Kir Karouna.

The collection contains a few clippings from newspapers and magazines on diverse topics related to the paint and resin industries. There are several folders of materials from meetings of the Societe de Chemie Industrielle. These documents consist largely of lists of speakers and photocopies and listings of attendees of the conferences.
