This comprehensive, ready reference discusses the properties of various available commercial
PVC resins, and how these, together with additives and modifiers, are used in formulating polyvinyl
chloride. Coverage includes economics of formulating, basic statistics and design of experiments,
laboratory compounding and test methods, environmental and health converns in formulating, dry
blending, powder coatings, and much more.
From the Preface: “...There is a wealth of information on PVC technology available in various
scientific and trade journals, proceedings of technical meetings, and technical literature of suppliers of
PVC resins and additives. There are also several excellent books on the broad aspects of PVC
technology and on additives for plastics. However, none focuses on PVC formulating. This volume is the
end result of what the editor had long felt was a need for a one-volume, ready-reference book describing
in detail the properties of the various commercial PVC resins...”
Target Audience: Formulators, product managers, chemists, and technologists in industry; also
students concerned with PVC formulation.
