Databook of Plasticizers

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 Databook of Plasticizers contains data on the most important plasticizers in use today, including over 375 generic and commercial plasticizers. The data comes from a range of sources beyond plasticizers manufacturers, allowing for detailed comparison of properties between different plasticizers when making a selection. Over 100 different data fields are provided, from general information such as molecular structure and formula, to physical properties, health and safety information, ecological properties, and recommendations regarding appropriate use and performance of each plasticizer. The databook is an essential resource for engineers, technicians and materials scientists responsible for specifying a plasticizer. It provides trustworthy and up-to-date data which is applicable to a range of numerous application areas, such as in construction, automotive, food packaging, and more. Enables plastics practitioners to more efficiently select the correct plasticizer for a range of applications100 data fields for each plasticizer, including physical properties, health and safety information, ecological properties, and specific usage recommendationsContains data on the most important plasticizers currently in use – both commercial products and the chemical compounds used for manufacture of the plasticizers, enabling detailed comparisons to be made
