The book has five chapters, each containing invaluable information
for PVC manufacturers, processors, and users. In the first
introductory chapter, the new product development and product
reengineering tools and market for PVC products are discussed. In
the second chapter, polymer properties determining its proper
selection are discussed. Commercial types and grades, polymer
forms, and physical-chemical properties of PVC are discussed in
detail. All essential information required for the decision-making
process is presented in a clear form in order to provide the reader
with the necessary data. The third chapter contains information
aiding in the selection of any required additives. Twenty-four
groups of additives are used in PVC processing to improve its
properties and obtain the set of product characteristics required
by the end-user. Similar to the previous chapter, the information
is concise but contains much-needed data to aid the reader in
product development and reformulation. The fourth chapter contains
about 600 formulations of products belonging to 23 categories
derived from characteristic methods of production. Formulations
come from patents, publications in journals, and from suggestions
of raw material suppliers. A broad selection of formulations is
used in each category to determine the essential components of
formulations used in a particular method of processing, the most
important parameters of successful products, troubleshooting
information, and suggestions of further sources of information on
the method of processing. This part results from a review of
thousands of patents, over two thousands of research papers, and
information available from manufacturers of polymers and additives.
The final chapter contains data on PVC and its products. The data
are assigned to one of the following sections: general data and
nomenclature, chemical composition and properties, physical
properties, mechanical properties, health and safety, environmental
information, use and application information. The data are based on
information contained in over 1450 research papers and it presents
the most comprehensive set of data on PVC ever assembled. The
concept of this and a companion book (PVC Degradation &
Stabilization, new edition will be published in 2015) is to provide
the reader with complete information and data required to formulate
successful and durable products or to evaluate formulations on the
background of compositions used by others. For scientists and
students, these two books give a complete set of the most
up-to-date information, state-of-the-art, and data required for the
development of new ideas and learning from a comprehensive review
contributed by the author of 5 books on PVC written in the last 30
years.
