_Handbook of Plasticizers, Third Edition,_ is an essential
professional reference, providing information that enables R&D
scientists, production chemists, and engineers the information they
need to use plasticizers more effectively, and to avoid certain
plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material
durability problems. Plasticizers are vital to the plastics industry,
particularly in improving the properties of materials such as PVC.
Plasticizers are commonly added to complex mixtures containing a
variety of materials, so successful incorporation requires a broad
understanding of the mechanisms of plasticizer action, and
compatibility with different materials and blends. There is a large
selection of commercial plasticizers, and various environmental issues
which impact on selection decisions.
The book discusses new and historical approaches to the use of
plasticizers, explaining mechanisms of plasticizers' action and their
behavior in plasticized systems. It goes into detail on the use of
plasticizers in a range of specific polymers, polymer blends, and
other industrial products. This includes coverage of the impact of
plasticizers on processing. George Wypych provides the data and
know-how from the most recent sources and updated information required
by engineers and scientists working in the plastics industry and the
many industry sectors that use plastics in their products. The book
covers the uses, advantages, and disadvantages of plasticizers,
historical and theoretical background, their effects on process
conditions, and health, safety, and environmental issues.
