This industrial guide does not purport to contain detailed user instructions, and by its range and scope could not possibly do so. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use by the Publisher. In some cases plastics additives could be toxic, and therefore due caution should be exercised. Final determination of the suitability of any information or product for use contemplated by any user, and the manner of that use, is the sole responsibility of the user. We strongly recommend that users seek and adhere to a manufacturers or suppliers current instructions for handling each material they use. The Author and Publisher have used their best efforts to include only the most recent data available. The reader is cautioned to consult the supplier in case of questions regarding current availability. Simpo PDF Merge and Split Unregistered Version - http://www.simpopdf.com To Wil and Marilyn Simpo PDF Merge and Split Unregistered Version - http://www.simpopdf.com LEE The Third Edition of this useful book is divided into three volumes. Volume II describes almost 1,400 plastics additives which are currently available to industry. It is the result of information received from 74 industrial companies and other organizations. The data represents selections from manufacturers descriptions made at no cost to, nor influence from, the makers or distributors of these materials. Only the most recent information has been included. It is believed that all of the products listed here are currently available, which will be of utmost interest to readers concerned with product discontinuances. Plastics additives, a complex and growing group of minerals and chemical derivatives, account for 15 to 20% by weight of the total volume of plastic products marketed. They are produced by a large number of companies for a wide variety of customers and needs. Growth of the use of these additives, which impart one or more desirable properties to resins, is relatively strong, about 3.5 to 4% per year. Environmental constraints, however, have imposed rigorous performance requirements on many products, thus placing added expenses on the development costs of these materials. Plastics additives are divided into logical sections in three volumes. Volume I: I. Adhesion Promoters II. Anti-Fogging Agents Preface Simpo PDF Merge and Split Unregistered Version - http://www.simpopdf.com JMR- 19-Mar-01 viii 2HAB=?A III. Antioxidants IV. Anti-Static Agents V. Antibacterials/Fungicides/Mildewcides VI. Bonding, Blowing and Foaming Agents VII. Dispersants VIII. Fillers and Extenders IX. Fire and Flame Retardants/Smoke Suppressants Volume II: X. Impact Modifiers XI. Initiators XII. Lubricants XIII. Micas XIV. Pigments, Colorants, and Dyes XV. Plasticizers and Esters XVI. Processing Aids XVII. Release Agents XVIII. Silanes, Titanates, and Zirconates XIX. Slip and Anti-Blocking Agents Volume III: XX. Stabilizers XXI. Stearates XXII. UV Absorbers XXIII. Viscosity Regulators XXIV. Waxes XXV. Miscellaneous and Multipurpose Compounds The Table of Contents of each volume is organized to also serve as a subject index. Each raw material is located in the section which is most applicable. The reader seeking a specific raw material should check each section which could possibly apply. In addition to the Simpo PDF Merge and Split Unregistered Version - http://www.simpopdf.com JMR 19-Mar-01 2HAB=?Aix above, two further sections are included in each volume: a list of Suppliers Addresses and a Trade Name Index. These will be ex- tremely helpful to the reader. The following information is supplied for each product, as available, in the manufacturers own words: Company name and product category. Trade names and product numbers. Product description: a description of the products main features, as described by the supplier. The three volumes of this book will be of value to technical and managerial personnel involved in the preparation of products made with these plastics additives as well as to the suppliers of the basic raw materials. My fullest appreciation is expressed to the companies and organizations who supplied the data included in this book. March, 2001 Ernest W.
