This reference provides information about generic polymeric materials test procedures, and helps readers select the right resin and appropriate values for each plastic property. For the most common generic polymeric materials (88 thermoplastics, 22 thermoplastic elastomers, and 22 thermosets) covered in this handbook, generic property tables are provided based on the category of test being reviewed. In addition, optical, coefficient of friction, wear, and other property tables required for special applications are included within these test standards. Chapters cover mechanical, thermal, electric, and physical properties, plus microbial, weather, and chemical resistance of polymeric materials. Various standards including ASTM, ISO, UL, and British Specifications are also compared, and discrepancies between different test standards are noted. B&W photos of testing machinery are included. The book will be useful to product designers, buyers, quality engineers, process engineers, laboratory testing technicians, material procurement personnel, and others responsible for the selection of a plastic resin material. Campo is a retired DuPont senior engineer.
