PVC Formulations Revealed

ChemTec Publishing’s new book, PVC Formulary, has four chapters of valuable information for PVC formulators, manufacturers, processors and users.

The first chapter discusses selecting the proper polymer based on its properties. Chapter two contains information on selecting from the 23 groups of additives used in PVC processing to improve its characteristics. Chapter three contains 500 formulations of products belonging to 23 categories from characteristic production methods.

Formulations come from recent patents, publications in journals, and from suggestions of raw material suppliers. A broad selection of formulations is used in each category to determine the essential components of formulations used in a particular method of processing, the most important parameters of successful products, troubleshooting information and suggestions of further sources of information on the method of processing.

The final chapter contains data on PVC and its products, including general data and nomenclature, chemical composition and properties, physical properties, mechanical properties, health and safety, environmental information, use and application information.
