Coloring of Plastics 2nd Edition Volume 2: Applications Technology

The subjects in this book cover the most important technical and scientific issues involved in coloring plastic materials, and the book is a valuable resource for those looking for information on plastic coloring.

The 2nd volume of this set covers polymers and gives an overview of the major polymer issues. The differences between a commodity and an engineering (exotic) polymer are discussed. The impact of these differences will influence the reader when evaluating a strategy for coloring a plastic design. Other coverage in this book describes major polymer families and includes: properties, advantages/disadvantages, and typical markets and applications.

Special issues addressed in this book are methods to incorporate colorants into a polymer and a coloring matrix, which lists the more important colorant chemical families and their expected performance in particular polymers.
