NOTICE
To the best of our knowledge the information in this publication is accurate;
however, the Publisher does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of, or consequencesarising from, such information. This industrial
guide does not purport to contain detailed user instructions, and by its range and
scope could not possibly do so. Mention of trade names or commercial products
does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use by the Publisher.
In some cases plastics additives could be toxic, and therefore due caution should
be exercised. Final determination ofthe suitability ofany information or product
for use contemplated by any user, and the manner of that use, is the sole
responsibility of the user. We strongly recommend that users seek and adhere
to amanufacturer’s or supplier’s current instructions for handling each material
they use.
The Author and Publisher have used their best efforts to include only the most
recent data available. The reader is cautioned to consult the supplier in case of
questions regarding current availability.
Preface
The Third Edition of this useful book is divided into three
volumes. Volume I1 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%b y weight ofthe 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:
I. Adhesion Promoters
11. Anti-Fogging Agents
vii

111. Antioxidants
IV. Anti-Static Agents
V. AntibacteriaIs/Fungicides/Mildewcides
VI. Bonding, Blowing and Foaming Agents
VII. Dispersants
VIII. Fillers and Extenders
1X. Fire and Flame RetardantdSmoke Suppressants
Volume 11:
X. Impact Modifiers
XI. Initiators
XII. Lubricants
XIII. Micas
XIV. Pigments, Colorants, and Dyes
XV. Plasticizers and Esters
XVI. Processing Aids
XVII. Release Agents
XVIII. Silanes, Titanates, and Zirconates
XIX. Slip and Anti-Blocking Agents
Volume 111:
XX. Stabilizers
XXI. Stearates
XXII. UV Absorbers
XXIII. Viscosity Regulators
XXIV. Waxes
XXV. Miscellaneous and Multipurpose Compounds
The Table of Contents of each volume is organized to also serve
as a subject index. Each raw material is located in the section which
is most applicable. The reader seeking a specific raw material should
check each section which could possibly apply. In addition to the
Preface ix
above, two further sections are included in each volume: a list of
Suppliers’ Addresses and a Trade Name Index. These will be ex-
tremely helpful to the reader.
The following information is supplied for each product, as
available, in the manufacturer’s own words:
Company name and product category.
Trade names and product numbers.
Product description: a description of the product’s
main features, as described by the supplier.
The three volumes of this book will be of value to technical and
managerial personnel involved in the preparation of products made
with these plastics additives as well as to the suppliers ofthe basic raw
materials.
My fullest appreciation is expressed to the companies and
organizations who supplied the data included in this book.
