SILICA BEADSRANGE

Outline specifications for three grades of amorphous silica beads being developed by Monsanto are contained in a technical data The grades cover the 30, 100 sheet available from the company. and 200 micron ranges under the trade name Syton microspheres. The beads are chemically inert and are currently being evaluated for the structural reinforcement of thermoset and thermoplastic materials, giving improvement in modulus, hardness, compression They are resistance, isotropy, flow and dimensional stability. also being tested in applications where superior chemical, thermal, flame and electrical resistance or insulation are sought.

BOOKS/PUBLICATIONS ADDITIVES FOR PLASTICS DATA BANK

This "desk-top" publication, by D.A.T.A. Inc. was developed for the purpose of presenting information about commercially available additive compounds, and is based upon data from manufacturers/ suppliers. The data is presented in a very concise tabulated form, and the publication also contains useful information on related subjects, such as ASTM tests; abbreviations; conversion calculations; etc. Of particular value is the Appendix on "Properties of Generic Materials" which lists about 20 key processing and engineering properties relating to "generic" materials in filled or blended form as well as in the unmodified form. Although this publication is limited to information on American and Canadian compounds, it is, nevertheless, of general value and interest worldwide. Published by: D.A.T.A.
