The Databook of Antiblocking, Release, and Slip Additives, Third Edition contains detailed information on over 300 important additives for polymers, additives that are used to minimize adhesion, aid separation, and enhance processing and end-applications for polymers. The variety of additives available makes this databook an invaluable source of information for industry, research, and academia. This 3rd edition has been updated to include modified properties of additives, new additives, the removal of outdated additives, and two new sections in chapters 3 and 5. Each additive is presented with data in the following categories: General Information; Physical Properties; Health and Safety; Ecological Properties; and Use and Performance. Data fields covered include state, odor, color, autoignition temperature, probability of biodegradation and much more. Recommendations are given for specific products, processing methods, and mold materials, and an assessment is given for each additive's features and benefits, enabling practitioners to select the correct additive for each situation.
