PFAS/Forever Chemicals : Business and manufacturing

From material properties to processing technologies, the Plastics Handbook is a unique source of information for engineers. Comprehensively updated, it serves as a practical guide for success in today's challenging, global industrial world. Searching for specific materials, trade names, properties, or other information is particularly easy, because the reader also has free access to the electronic version of the book.

Now in its 3e, Film Properties of Plastics and Elastomers, has been extensively revised. This is the only data handbook available on the engineering properties of commercial polymeric films. It details many physical, mechanical, optical, electrical, and permeation properties within the context of specific test parameters, providing a ready reference for comparing materials in the same family as well as materials in different families. Data is presented on the characteristics of 47 major plastic and elastomer packaging materials. New to this edition, the resin chapters each contain textual summary information including category, general description, processing methods, applications, and other facts as appropriate, such as reliability, weatherability, and regulatory approval considerations for use in food and medical packaging. Extensive references are provided.
