Your personal Ullmann's: Chemical and physical characteristics, production processes and production figures, main applications, toxicology and safety information are all to be found here in one single resource - bringing the vast knowledge of the Ullmann's Encyclopedia to the desks of industrial chemists and chemical engineers.
- The ULLMANN'S perspective on polymers and plastics brings reliable information on more than 1500 compounds and products straight to your desktop
- Carefully selected "best of" compilation of 61 topical articles from the Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry on economically important polymers provide a wealth of chemical, physical and economic data on more than 1000 different polymers and hundreds of modifications
- Contains a wealth of information on the production and use of all industrially relevant polymers and plastics, including organic and inorganic polymers, fibers, foams and resins
- Extensively updated: more than 30% of the content has been added or updated since the launch of the 7th edition of the Ullmann's encyclopedia in 2011 and is now available in print for the first time
