Beschreibung
Handbook of Polymer Processing Additives provides insights on the selection of additives, their performance mechanisms, essential application properties, and a complete analysis of related literature and patents. Acid scavengers, air release, anticaking, antigassing, anti-gelling, anti-settling, hydrolysis stabilizers, and moisture scavengers are each covered. Information on the use of additives in various products is divided into sections on types, concentrations, usage, advantages and disadvantages, effects on product properties, and examples of formulation. Processing methods are similarly divided into sections on types and concentrations, effects on the process, effect on product properties, advantages and disadvantages, and examples of formulation. All essential aspects of chemistry, physical properties, influence on properties of final products, formulations, methods of incorporation, analysis and effects on health and environment are considered. The book is an excellent companion to the Databook of Polymer Processing Additives. - Covers the applications, manufacturing, selection and performance mechanisms of polymer processing additives- Provides a complete analysis of the current literature and patents of these additives- Discusses reasons for use, advantages and disadvantages, effects on product properties, methods of incorporation, and effects on health and the environment- Includes discussions on antiblocking agents, antioxidants, biocides, flame retardants, nucleating agents, solvents, plasticizers, and more
