This fourth edition of the Chemical Resistance of Plastics and Elastomers offers the most complete source of information ever gathered on how plastics and elastomers react when exposed to various chemical reagents. More than 200 material types and 4,500 exposure media, both common and exotic, are examined. Containing over 194,000 records, this has become the most powerful tool any plastics engineer can use. Hard to find information is normalized, and the highly regarded PDL resistance rating is included for quick answers on whether the material in question is suitable for further research.

Records are organized in four ways: Alphabetically by material; alphabetically by exposure medium; materials by hierarchical classification; exposure media by type and use. Extensive data are presented in tabular form for exposure conditions and results of exposure. CAS registry numbers, a trade name index, a glossary of terms, and other helpful information is also included. Highly recommended.

Target Audience: Engineers, designers, researchers, and technicians in the plastics industry who design parts that can come into contact with chemical reagents.
