Description

Databook of Polymer Processing Additives provides key information on the properties of polymer processing additives, covering their general information, physical properties, health and safety considerations, ecological properties, and use and performance details. Acid scavengers, air release, anticaking, antigassing, anti-gelling, anti-settling, hydrolysis stabilizers, moisture scavengers, and more are all covered, providing readers with key data aiding in the proper selection of these additives. The book is an excellent companion to the Handbook of Polymer Processing Additives.

Key features

  • Outlines key data on widely-used processing additives such as acid scavengers, air release, anticaking, antifoaming, antigassing, antigelling, and antisettling additives, as well as hydrolysis stabilizers and moisture scavengers
