Volume I describes almost 1,000 plastics additives which are currently available to industry. It is the result of information received from 76 industrial companies and other organizations. The data represents selections from manufacturers’ descriptions made at no cost to, nor influence from, the makers or distributors of these 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. Plastics additives, a complex and growing group of minerals and chemical derivatives, account for 15 to 20% by weight ofthe total volume of plastic products marketed. They are produced by a large number of companies for a wide variety of customers and needs. Growth of the use of these additives, which impart one or more desirable properties to resins, is relatively strong, about 3.5 to 4% per year. Environmental constraints, however, have imposed rigorous performance requirements on many products, thus placing added expenses on the development costs of these materials. Plastics additives are divided into logical sections in three volumes. Volume I: I. Adhesion Promoters 11. Anti-Fogging Agents vii viii Preface 111. Antioxidants IV. Anti-Static Agents V. AntibacteriaWFungicidedMildewcides VI. Bonding, Blowing and Foaming Agents VII. Dispersants VIII. Fillers and Extenders IX. Fire and Flame RetardantdSmoke Suppressants Volume 11: X. Impact Modifiers XI. Initiators XII. Lubricants XIII. Micas XIV. Pigments, Colorants, and Dyes XV. Plasticizers and Esters XVI. Processing Aids XVII. Release Agents XVIII. Silanes, Titanates, and Zirconates XIX. Slip and Anti-Blocking Agents Volume 111: XX. Stabilizers XXI. Stearates XXII. UV Absorbers XXIII. Viscosity Regulators XXIV. Waxes XXV. Miscellaneous and Multipurpose Compounds The Table of Contents of each volume is organized to also serve as a subject index. Each raw material is located in the section which is most applicable. The reader seeking a specific raw material should check each section which could possibly apply. In addition to the Preface ix above, two further sections are included in each volume: a list of Suppliers’ Addresses and a Trade Name Index. These will be ex- tremely helpful to the reader. The following information is supplied for each product, as available, in the manufacturer’s own words: Company name and product category. Trade names and product numbers. Product description: a description of the product’s main features, as described by the supplier. The three volumes of this book will be of value to technical and managerial personnel involved in the preparation of products made with these plastics additives as well as to the suppliers ofthe basic raw materials. My fullest appreciation is expressed to the companies and organizations who supplied the data included in this book. November, 2000 Ernest W. Flick
