Preface
This handbook contains descriptions of more than 2200 raw materials which
are currently available to the adhesives industry. It will be of value to technical
and managerial personnel in adhesives manufacturing companies and companies
which supply raw materials or services to these companies. This book will be
useful to both those with extensive experience as well as those new in the field.
The data included represent selections from manufacturers’ descriptions made at
no cost to, nor influence from, the makers or distributors of the materials. Only
the most recent information has been included. It is believed that all of the
products listed here are currently available, which will be of utmost interest
to readers concerned with product discontinuances.
The raw materials have been divided into the following 12 sections:
1. Antifoams, Defoamers, Dispersants, Surfactants (100)
2. Antioxidants (11)
3. Extenders, Fillers, Pigments (376)
4. Flame/Fire Retardants (56)
5. Oils (37)
6. Polymer Emulsions (300)
7. Preservatives, Bactericides, Fungicides (26)
8. Resins (744)
9. RheologicalNiscosity Control Agents (78)
10. Starches (41)
(
11. Waxes 137)
12. Miscellaneous (260)
The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of products to be found in each
section. When searching for a particular type of product, the reader is advised to
consult each section which might be pertinent.
V
vi Preface
In addition to the sections listed above, a list of Suppliers’ Addresses and a Trade
Name Index are included.
The table of contents is organized in such a way as to serve as a subject index to
the book. Companies are presented alphabetically in each section and appropri-
ate products or product types are listed for each company. The book lists the
following product information, as available, in the manufacturer’s own words:
(1) Company name and product category.
(2) Trade name and product numbers.
(3) Product Description: a description of the product, its proper-
ties, and possible applications, as presented by the supplier.
My fullest appreciation is expressed to the companies and organizations who
supplied the data included in this book.

In certain cases adhesives raw materials could be toxic,

handling each material they use.
The Author and Publisher have used their best efforts to
include only the most recent data available. The reader is
cautioned to consult the supplier in case of questions re-
garding current availability.
