Databook of the Most Important Polymer and Rubber Additives is a vital reference for anyone working with polymers and rubbers. It provides key information on the properties of the most widely used additives that can be used to alter the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of rubbers and plastics. Additives are presented by their main chemical component, with information for each additive provided in the form of a table divided into 5 sections, covering General Information, Physical Properties, Health and Safety Considerations, Ecological Impact, and Use and Applications. Data provided includes CAS#, acid/base properties, odor, various cloud points, volatility data, surface tension, thermal conductivity, explosion limits, carcinogenicity, oxygen demands, biodegradation probability, air pollution data, applications in different polymers and products, processing requirements and doses, food approvals, substitutes, and more.The companion book, The Encyclopedia of Polymer and Rubber Additives, contains information on the mechanisms of action of each group of additives, their suitable features and modifications, their effect and interferences in complex formulations, and it is illustrated with numerous experimental examples highlighting their performance.- Provides information on the properties of key additives that can be used to alter the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of rubbers and plastics- Covers general information, physical properties, health and safety considerations, ecological impact, and use and applications- Presents additives by their main chemical component, discussing anticaking agents, antidegradants, antifogging agents, curatives, crosslinkers, defoaming agents, fillers, nucleating agents, pigments, solvents, stabilizers, vulcanizing agents, and more
