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...
