Description

Databook of Plasticizers, Third Edition contains data on more than 300 of the most important generic and commercial plasticizers in use today. The data comes from a range of sources beyond plasticizers manufacturers, allowing for a detailed comparison of properties of different plasticizers. Over 100 different data fields are provided, from general information, such as molecular structure and formula, to physical properties, health and safety information, ecological properties, and recommendations regarding appropriate use and performance of each plasticizer. This data book is an essential resource for engineers, technicians and materials scientists responsible for specifying a plasticizer.

The book has been updated to reflect the recent changes in plasticizer approvals for production of various materials, including chloroparaffins, refined oil derivatives, and phalates, and also includes data details on a range of new plasticizers that have recently gained market approval. It serves as an ideal companion to the Handbook of Plasticizers.

Key features

  • Enables plastics practitioners to more efficiently select the correct plasticizer for a range of applications
  • Includes 100 data fields for each plasticizer, including physical properties, health and safety information, ecological properties and specific usage recommendations
  • Contains data on the most important plasticizers currently in use, both commercial products and the chemical compounds used for the manufacture of plasticizers

Readership

Academic researchers, professional engineers, material scientists, chemists; Grad/upper level undergrad students
