Trang 1The 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:

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
