SIMPLE ID OF PLASTICS

Processors and users of plastics often have to determine the chemical nature of a plastics sample. In contrast to plastic producers, however, they lack the specially equipped laboratories and the analytically trained staff for this purpose.

Simple Methods for Identification of Plastics, now in its fourth edition, is a compilation of select proven procedures that will enable you to identify an unknown plastic.

This new edition contains many enhancements such as sections on thermoplastic elastomers, high-temperature resistant thermoplastics, and polymer blends. There is also a new section on the identification of metal-containing stabilizers in PVC.
