Additives for Polyolefins : Getting the Most out of Polypropylene, Polyethylene and TPO
Additives for Polyolefins is a unique quick-reference resource for those who create or use polyethylene and polypropylene compounds-the most commercially important family of plastic materials, making up close to half of the volume all plastics produced and used. These polymers would be useless witho...
