The Handbook contains answers to questions most often asked about 119 different plastic topics. From acetal to XT polymer, from blow moulding to ultrasonic welding to design, and from simple fillers to exotic reinforcements. Each section presents essential information in a convenient, easy-to-find, consistent format.
The Handbook was developed by a prestigious editorial board to ensure that it meets the information needs of people in the plastics industry with high-quality, readable text, comprehensive tables, and handy appendices are presented in a consistent and understandable manner.
The Handbook is dividied into three major sections - materials, processes, and technology. Every material section and every processing section is organised into 15 subsections. This allows the user to find information quickly. For example, advantages/disadvantages of materials is always in #7 in every subsection. The appendices present a wealth of information often used: two kinds of abbreviations, conversion tables from standard to metric and vice versa, and a ranking of materials according to these properties:- density, tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural modulus, % elongation to break, Izod notched impact, heat-distortion temperature at 264 psi, and dielectric strength.
