PLASTICS ADDITIVES

An industrial guide E. W. Flick Noyes Publications, New Jersey, U.S.A., 1986. This describes almost 3,400 additives for plastics which are currently available to industry. It has been compiled from information received from numerous industrial companies and other organizations on their products, and only the most recent data has been included. Each section covers a specific additive class, sub-divided into individual products/supplies and their products, with data presented in a somewhat similar form to the MATERIALS section of ADDITIVES FOR POLYMERS. The number of "raw materials" covered in each section varies according to the overall commercinl importance of the end-use; for example, there are some 605 entries under FILLERS AND EXTENDERS but only 9 under Readership antifogging agents. It does not cover CATALYSTS. will include technical and managerial personnel involved in all It is limited to materials of facets of plastics utilization. American origin, but nevertheless forms a concise and useful reference work on this subject, but will necessarily require updating every two years or so to sustain its value. Strictly speaking, the title should read "Additives for Polymers", since "Plastics Additives" infers that additives are made of plastics.

8th in the Analytical Chemistry series. T. R. Crompton. Pergamon, Oxford & New York, 1984. $49.50. The author is well known for his books on additive migration from plastics into food, and chemical analysis of additives in plastics. The book deals with (at the end of each chapter) the analysis of components like water, solvents, monomers, catalyst residues or processing additives, stabilizers, plasticizers, etc.

GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED PLASTICS

AMHTIVES FOR POLYMERS

This is the subject of a booklet recently issued by PPG Industries, Pittsburg, U.S.A. It is the latest edition of "Fiber Glass Reinforced Plastics - by design" which was first introduced in 1969. It provides basic descriptive and technical information for starting the design of GRP applications and the selection of materials best suited for their fabrication. a 1987 Elsevier !Sence Publishem It.%‘.,~~~J8?~.~ + 2.20 Nopart of this publication may be reproduced, stored in e retrieval system, or transmitted by eny form or by any means, eiectmnic, mechanic& phot~p~ng, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the publishers.
