Applications Technology (v. 2) (Society of Plastics Engineers Monographs) - Hardcover

This resource presents the most important technical and scientific issues involved in coloring plastic materials, providing a valuable go-to for those looking for information on plastic coloring. The second volume in this two-volume set overviews the major polymer issues. The differences between a commodity and an engineering (exotic) polymer are discussed, an important consideration when evaluating a strategy for coloring a plastic design. Other coverage in this exhaustive technical guide describes major polymer families and includes properties, advantages/disadvantages, and typical markets and applications.

This latest edition of Coloring of Plastics: Fundamentals offers an updated introduction to color as a science while also providing the foundation for many additional technological subjects. The basic families of colorants are described, along with their properties. The material examines how statistical analysis can improve the consistency of colored polymer production runs as well as the colorants used to match the color. [--relates to 2nd ed.]
