Submit a ProposalPlastics Additives and Testing
 | By Muralisrinivasan Natamai Subramanian Copyright: 2013 | Expected Pub Date:04/30/2013 ISBN: 9781118118900 | Hardcover | 224 pages | 29 illustrations Price: $149.95 USD  |
One Line Description
Presents a thorough overview of the many types of plastics additives, the multiple testing techniques used by industry, as well as the quality control measures to ensure the formulation will result in high quality product.
Audience
Plastics Additives and Testing is aimed at industry and manufacturing such as operators, formulators, processors, engineers, and chemists. In addition, the book is ideal for technical seminars in industry or courses in engineering and technology schools that teach polymers or plastics technology both at the graduate and post- graduate levels.

Description
It is common practice today to use analytical techniques to improve plastics processing. Because it is critically important to manufacture quality products, a reasonable balance must be drawn between control requirements and parameters for improved processing methods with respect to plastics additives. This book speaks to implementing this balance in the manufacturing line.
Plastics Additives and Testing is a practical book for engineers and operators. It discusses both inorganic and organic chemicals that are widely used as additives in plastics processing operations. Testing the formulation is now an integral part of the process so that the raw materials used in plastics processing are subject to quality control. Instrumental methods used in plastics additive testing have the ability to control experiments on plastics processing, to collect data, to perform calculations, as well as providing increased efficiency and reducing waste during processing.
This important and concise book written by an expert practitioner elucidates the complex yet broadening world of plastics additives and the testing techniques. Highlights include:
•The various types of additives as well as their chemistry
•Organic and inorganic additives
•Additives and the multiple plastics processes
•The identification of additives
•The testing of additives through various systems such as Thermogravimetric Mass Spectrometry, Gas Chromatography, FTIR Spectroscopy
