Most plastic products and parts are expected to perform in environments other than room temperature and standard humidity conditions. This databank serves as an evaluation of plastics as they are exposed to varying operating conditions at different temperatures. Over 600 uniform graphs for more than 40 generic families of plastics are contained in this publication. Properties are sorted at various temperatures (ranging from 56 to 260 degrees Celsius) and graphs are labeled in both inch-pound and SI units.
Engineers, researchers and technicians in the plastics industry.
