This bestselling data handbook from Plastics Design Library provides comprehensive permeation
and barrier data for polymeric materials in thin sections. Data on permeation of liquids, gases,
moisture, aroma, and flavor — each an important consideration in a wide range of applications — is
extensive. Test conditions, exposure environments, and test specimen details are reported in full. Product data
is presented in graphical and tabular format, with results normalized to SI units, retaining the
familiar format of the first edition and allowing easy comparision between materials and test conditions.
New to this revised edition of Permeability Properties of Plastics and Elastomers
is textual summary information in each of the 92 resin chapters including: category, general description, processing
methods, applications, and general permeability considerations for water vapor, oxygen, and other gases
including aroma and flavor. The introductory chapters have been expanded to serve as more
comprehensive primer on the nature of polymeric materials and standard measurements and test methods. There
are six all-new chapters, and the section on the permeability of gloves has been substantially revised.
An invaluable resource and reference work.
From the Preface: “...As a reference book, this edition strives to present data in a format that
allows the user to easily compare and contrast performance characteristics between different material
families, and where possible, between the products available within a material family itself.
Information was gathered from many sources: material manufacturers, technical journals and papers, etc....It is
my hope that this reference is the first book to which an engineer, designer, or scientist refers
when looking for general material properties and trends between families of polymers. From the data
included herein, typical performance can be determined and materials selected to meet general
criteria. The user can then research and evaluate...for a specific application...”
Target Audience: Scientists, engineers, designers, and technicians in the plastics industry
concerned with the permeability properties of multilayer and composite films.
