Flame Retardants for Plastics
Plastics materials are used in large volumes in major applications such as buildings, vehicles and electronic appliances. In each of these areas, fire safety is critical. Hence flame retardants have been developed to improve the properties of plastics under the different conditions of processing and use. Flame retardants can act in a variety of ways: by raising the ignition temperature, reducing the rate of burning, reducing flame spread and reducing smoke generation. There are various test methods in use to quantify the effectiveness of different flame retardants and these are described here.
This report examines the new developments from a range of flame retardant producers, both in products and product ranges. Besides brominated materials, mineral fillers such as alumina trihydrate hold a large market share, alongside phosphorus compounds, antimony trioxide, borates and intumescent materials. The latter function by forming an insulating char on the surface of the material. Nanocomposites are being tested as flame retardant materials - these and other new types of additive are described
Environmental legislation has affected this sector of the additive industry, particularly in the field of halogenated flame retardants. Brominated flame retardants are widely used, effective materials in many resin formulations. Many pressure groups would like to see compounds containing halogens banned. There are concerns about the potential for release and bioaccumulation of toxic combustion products. However, the evidence shows that where the use of these materials has been reduced, for example in television sets in Europe, the number of fires and consequently deaths has increased. The issues are discussed in this report.
At the same time, fire safety requirements for materials have increased. The uncertainty of the situation has lead to major suppliers of flame retardants branching out to secure their position in the market place. Thus larger companies have been purchasing suppliers of alternative types of retardants so that if legislation reduces their share of one sector of the market, they can reap the benefits from their alternative products.
Market data on flame retardants is limited, but the available figures from different sources are summarised here. For example, the market size for flame retardants in the USA is currently around half a million tones per year. There is extensive discussion of specific applications, i.e., automotive, building and construction, and electrical and electronic.
This technical market report highlights the current work on flame retardants by different companies and for different resins; it describes the situation of flux in the marketplace with the new changes to legislation and gives data on the market size and possible future changes.

The knowledge on this subject mostly related to silanes, which form the most widely used group of these additives, is frequently based on the book which was published at the beginning of 1980s by a scientist who developed many silanes used until today. Since then, many new additives were introduced into the market. Most of these new additives are not based on silanes but on one of over 30 chemical groups of chemical compounds needed for a variety of products in which silanes do not function, are too expensive, or better performance can be achieved with these new additives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book fills the existing gap in the literature, which still lacks the most recent comprehensive review of current options and knowledge. Handbook of Adhesion Promoters contains 10 chapters, each discussing essential aspects of the application of adhesion promoters. The known mechanisms which belong to one of 13 groups outline principles of use, action, and application of these additives. This chapter is followed by the discussion of mechanisms that cause adhesion loss, such as corrosion, delamination, detachment, liquid penetration, and peeling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurface condition and its treatment are discussed regarding surface treatment by different methods (cleaning, mechanical, plasma, microwave, flame, corona discharge, laser, UV, and chemical modification), which are used in practical applications. All these are illustrated with practical examples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 gives formulations of typical primers used in the application of adhesives and sealants, coatings, coil coatings, cosmetics, dental, leather, metal, optical devices, paper, polymers and plastics, printing, and wood. This chapter contains over 50 primer formulations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA full chapter is devoted to the subject of polymer modification which can improve adhesion – a method frequently used instead of the addition of adhesion promoters. The properties of (over 30 groups of adhesion promoters and their potential applications are discussed in the chapter devoted to this subject based on published articles, manufacturers’ information, and analysis of patents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last three chapters contain information on available evaluation and selection of adhesion promoters that work with different polymers (29), products (28) and help to prevent corrosion. A full list of covered polymers and products is given in the table of contents below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the theoretical and practical knowledge required to effectively formulate products used in various applications discussed in this book, there is also available Databook of Adhesion Promoters, which contains data on many most extensively used commercial additives. Both books contain the most recent information available in literature, patents, and published by manufacturers and users of these products. \u003cbr\u003eThe Handbook of Adhesion Promoters is an important reference for chemists, engineers, and materials scientists in various industries. It is also suitable as a reference book for advanced graduate students.\u003cbr\u003eIt is recommended for readers interested in all aspects of polymers and plastics, with special attention to the development, studies, legislation, and production of adhesives, aerospace, agriculture, automotive, bitumen, ceramic tiles, coated fabrics, coatings and paints, coil coatings, composites, construction, cosmetics, dental, electrodes, electronics, flooring, food applications, inks, laminates, medical, membranes, metal coating, pharmaceutical, roofing, sealants, tires, waterproofing, and

The knowledge on this subject mostly related to silanes, which form the most widely used group of these additives, is frequently based on the book which was published at the beginning of 1980s by a scientist who developed many silanes used until today. Since then, many new additives were introduced into the market. Most of these new additives are not based on silanes but on one of over 30 chemical groups of chemical compounds needed for a variety of products in which silanes do not function, are too expensive, or better performance can be achieved with these new additives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book fills the existing gap in the literature, which still lacks the most recent comprehensive review of current options and knowledge. Handbook of Adhesion Promoters contains 10 chapters, each discussing essential aspects of the application of adhesion promoters. The known mechanisms which belong to one of 13 groups outline principles of use, action, and application of these additives. This chapter is followed by the discussion of mechanisms that cause adhesion loss, such as corrosion, delamination, detachment, liquid penetration, and peeling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurface condition and its treatment are discussed regarding surface treatment by different methods (cleaning, mechanical, plasma, microwave, flame, corona discharge, laser, UV, and chemical modification), which are used in practical applications. All these are illustrated with practical examples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 gives formulations of typical primers used in the application of adhesives and sealants, coatings, coil coatings, cosmetics, dental, leather, metal, optical devices, paper, polymers and plastics, printing, and wood. This chapter contains over 50 primer formulations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA full chapter is devoted to the subject of polymer modification which can improve adhesion – a method frequently used instead of the addition of adhesion promoters. The properties of (over 30 groups of adhesion promoters and their potential applications are discussed in the chapter devoted to this subject based on published articles, manufacturers’ information, and analysis of patents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last three chapters contain information on available evaluation and selection of adhesion promoters that work with different polymers (29), products (28) and help to prevent corrosion. A full list of covered polymers and products is given in the table of contents below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the theoretical and practical knowledge required to effectively formulate products used in various applications discussed in this book, there is also available Databook of Adhesion Promoters, which contains data on many most extensively used commercial additives. Both books contain the most recent information available in literature, patents, and published by manufacturers and users of these products. \u003cbr\u003eThe Handbook of Adhesion Promoters is an important reference for chemists, engineers, and materials scientists in various industries. It is also suitable as a reference book for advanced graduate students.\u003cbr\u003eIt is recommended for readers interested in all aspects of polymers and plastics, with special attention to the development, studies, legislation, and production of adhesives, aerospace, agriculture, automotive, bitumen, ceramic tiles, coated fabrics, coatings and paints, coil coatings, composites, construction, cosmetics, dental, electrodes, electronics, flooring, food applications, inks, laminates, medical, membranes, metal coating, pharmaceutical, roofing, sealants, tires, waterproofing, and

The source of raw materials used to produce plasticizers is becoming one of the issues in their selection. The book contains information on plasticizers obtained from renewable resources. Plasticizer incorporation demands a broad background of information because plasticizers are now added to complex mixtures containing a variety of materials that may have different reactions to the presence of plasticizers. Plasticizer choice is also not simple because there is a large selection of commercial plasticizers and various environmental issues dictating preferred solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects considered indicate the need for a comprehensive source which, using currently available means of the computerized database, should provide data and a broad background of theoretical information in a condensed form easy to search. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumerical data on the most important plasticizers are provided in the tabular form of the printed book entitled Databook of Plasticizers. \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-one chapters are included in the Handbook of Plasticizers. The full Table of Contents is given below. Only some chapters are discussed here to add more information that may not be obvious from the table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData are available for a large number of commercial plasticizers. This data is used in Chapter 2 to specify typical properties of plasticizers that belong to one of the thirty-one groups. The ranges of expected properties for a given group are also given.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters 5, 6, and 7 contain new and historical approaches, which explain the mechanisms of plasticizers’ action and their behavior in plasticized systems. This theoretical background helps to understand practical observations and provides guidance to the methods of material improvement. Chapter 9 shows plasticization steps and results of various analytical studies, which help in understanding these steps and the parameters which may control them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty-nine sections of Chapter 10 discuss plasticizers’ effect on the physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials. These sections are essential for understanding the behavior of materials and the principles of their formulation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 contains data on the use of plasticizers in 61 groups of polymers. The information is grouped under the following sections – Frequently used plasticizers, Practical concentrations, Main functions performed by plasticizers, Mechanism of plasticizer action, Effect of plasticizers on polymer and other additives, and Typical formulations. The use of such a consistent method of data presentation helps to find information quickly and to compare data from various sources and applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly, Chapter 13 discusses the use of plasticizers in 33 groups of products according to a similar breakdown, including Plasticizer types, Plasticizer concentration, Reasons for plasticizer use, Advantages and disadvantages of plasticizer use, Effect of plasticizers on product properties, and Examples of formulations. Both chapters make use of a large number of patents and information in open literature discussing the most current findings and trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 14, attempts are being made to discuss the following topics: The effect of plasticizers on process conditions, Processing defects formation and elimination with the use of plasticizers, In the fluence of rheological changes on the process, Equipment maintenance, and energy consumption. This chapter discusses 15 methods of polymer and rubber processing.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral chapters which follow discuss various aspects of plasticizer’s effect on health, safety, and the environment. Chapter 17 contains opinions of renowned experts on various aspects of plasticizers’ effect on health and safety. Chapter 18 contains information on plasticizers’ persistence in soil and water. Plasticizers releases and their presence in the environment are discussed for many important commercial plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis short review and the Table of Contents show that this book is the most comprehensive source of current information on plasticizers. Plasticizers are used in so many products that every library should have this reference source of information on plasticizers readily available for its readers, especially considering that so many aspects of application plasticizers have recently changed that older books cannot provide the right answers. This book is best used in conjunction with the Plasticizer Database and\/or Databook of Plasticizers which give information on the present status and properties of industrial and research plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 INTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Historical developments \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Expectations from plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Definitions \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Classification \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 PLASTICIZER TYPES\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Characteristic properties of industrial plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.1 Abietates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.2 Adipates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.3 Alkyl sulfonates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.4 Amides and amines \u003cbr\u003e2.2.5 Azelates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.6 Benzoates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.7 Bioplasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.8 Biodegradable plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.9 Chlorinated paraffins, \u003cbr\u003e2.2.10 Citrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.11 Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, diisononyl ester \u003cbr\u003e2.2.12 Energetic plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.13 Epoxides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.14 Esters of C10-30 dicarboxylic acids \u003cbr\u003e2.2.15 Ether-ester plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.16 Glutarates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.17 Hydrocarbon oils \u003cbr\u003e2.2.18 Hydrocarbon resins \u003cbr\u003e2.2.19 Isobutyrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.20 Maleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.21 Oleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.22 Pentaerythritol derivatives \u003cbr\u003e2.2.23 Phosphates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.24 Phthalate-free plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.25 Phthalates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26 Polymeric plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26.1 Esters \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26.2 Polybutenes \u003cbr\u003e2.26.3 Others \u003cbr\u003e2.2.27 Ricinoleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.28 Sebacates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.29 Succinates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.30 Sulfonamides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.31 Superplasticizers and plasticizers for concrete \u003cbr\u003e2.2.32 Tri- and pyromellitates \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Methods of synthesis and their effect on properties of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Reactive plasticizers and internal plasticization \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 TYPICAL METHODS OF QUALITY CONTROL OF PLASTICIZERS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e3.1 Abbreviations, terminology, and vocabulary \u003cbr\u003e3.2 Acid number \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Aging studies \u003cbr\u003e3.4 Ash \u003cbr\u003e3.5 Brittleness temperature \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Brookfield viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Chemical resistance \u003cbr\u003e3.8 Color \u003cbr\u003e3.9 Compatibility \u003cbr\u003e3.10 Compression set \u003cbr\u003e3.11 Concrete additives \u003cbr\u003e3.12 Electrical properties \u003cbr\u003e3.13 Extractable matter \u003cbr\u003e3.14 Flash and fire point \u003cbr\u003e3.15 Fogging \u003cbr\u003e3.16 Fusion \u003cbr\u003e3.17 Gas chromatography \u003cbr\u003e3.18 Hardness \u003cbr\u003e3.19 Infrared analysis of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e3.20 Kinematic viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.21 Marking (classification) \u003cbr\u003e3.22 Melt rheology \u003cbr\u003e3.23 Migration \u003cbr\u003e3.24 Polyvinylchloride standard specification \u003cbr\u003e3.25 Powder-mix time \u003cbr\u003e3.26 Purity \u003cbr\u003e3.27 Refractive index \u003cbr\u003e3.28 Residual contamination \u003cbr\u003e3.29 Sampling \u003cbr\u003e3.30 Saponification value \u003cbr\u003e3.31 Saybolt viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.32 Sorption of plasticizer \u003cbr\u003e3.33 Specific gravity \u003cbr\u003e3.34 Specification \u003cbr\u003e3.35 Staining \u003cbr\u003e3.36 Stiffness \u003cbr\u003e3.37 Tensile properties \u003cbr\u003e3.38 Thermal expansion coefficient \u003cbr\u003e3.39 Unsaponifiable contents \u003cbr\u003e3.40 Viscosity of plastisols and organosols \u003cbr\u003e3.41 Water concentration \u003cbr\u003e3.42 Weight loss \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e4.1 Transportation \u003cbr\u003e4.2 Storage \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 MECHANISMS OF PLASTICIZERS ACTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A.

The book serves both as a basic reference source for researchers, engineers, and others involved in plastics processing, research and development as well as a source of ideas regarding future developments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book contains a comprehensive review of information available in the open literature, such as published scientific papers, information from plasticizer manufacturers, and patent literature. The information from the most recent sources was used to update information from previous editions. \u003cbr\u003eThe information available today permits the use of plasticizers more effectively and helps to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability problems. The source of raw materials used to produce plasticizers is becoming one of the issues in their selection. The book contains information on plasticizers obtained from renewable resources. Plasticizer incorporation demands a broad background of information because plasticizers are now added to complex mixtures containing a variety of materials that may have different reactions to the presence of plasticizers. Plasticizer choice is also not simple because there is a large selection of commercial plasticizers and various environmental issues dictating preferred solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects considered indicate the need for a comprehensive source which, using currently available means of the computerized database, should provide data and a broad background of theoretical information in a condensed form easy to search. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumerical data on the most important plasticizers are provided in the tabular form of the printed book entitled Databook of Plasticizers. \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-one chapters are included in the Handbook of Plasticizers. The full Table of Contents is given below. Only some chapters are discussed here to add more information that may not be obvious from the table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData are available for a large number of commercial plasticizers. This data is used in Chapter 2 to specify typical properties of plasticizers that belong to one of the thirty-one groups. The ranges of expected properties for a given group are also given.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters 5, 6, and 7 contain new and historical approaches, which explain the mechanisms of plasticizers’ action and their behavior in plasticized systems. This theoretical background helps to understand practical observations and provides guidance to the methods of material improvement. Chapter 9 shows plasticization steps and results of various analytical studies, which help in understanding these steps and the parameters which may control them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty-nine sections of Chapter 10 discuss plasticizers’ effect on the physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials. These sections are essential for understanding the behavior of materials and the principles of their formulation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 contains data on the use of plasticizers in 61 groups of polymers. The information is grouped under the following sections – Frequently used plasticizers, Practical concentrations, Main functions performed by plasticizers, Mechanism of plasticizer action, Effect of plasticizers on polymer and other additives, and Typical formulations. The use of such a consistent method of data presentation helps to find information quickly and to compare data from various sources and applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly, Chapter 13 discusses the use of plasticizers in 33 groups of products according to a similar breakdown, including Plasticizer types, Plasticizer concentration, Reasons for plasticizer use, Advantages and disadvantages of plasticizer use, Effect of plasticizers on product properties, and Examples of formulations. Both chapters make use of a large number of patents and information in open literature discussing the most current findings and trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 14, attempts are being made to discuss the following topics: The effect of plasticizers on process conditions, Processing defects formation and elimination with the use of plasticizers, In the fluence of rheological changes on the process, Equipment maintenance, and energy consumption. This chapter discusses 15 methods of polymer and rubber processing.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral chapters which follow discuss various aspects of plasticizer’s effect on health, safety, and the environment. Chapter 17 contains opinions of renowned experts on various aspects of plasticizers’ effect on health and safety. Chapter 18 contains information on plasticizers’ persistence in soil and water. Plasticizers releases and their presence in the environment are discussed for many important commercial plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis short review and the Table of Contents show that this book is the most comprehensive source of current information on plasticizers. Plasticizers are used in so many products that every library should have this reference source of information on plasticizers readily available for its readers, especially considering that so many aspects of application plasticizers have recently changed that older books cannot provide the right answers. This book is best used in conjunction with the Plasticizer Database and\/or Databook of Plasticizers which give information on the present status and properties of industrial and research plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 INTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Historical developments \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Expectations from plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Definitions \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Classification \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 PLASTICIZER TYPES\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Characteristic properties of industrial plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.1 Abietates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.2 Adipates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.3 Alkyl sulfonates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.4 Amides and amines \u003cbr\u003e2.2.5 Azelates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.6 Benzoates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.7 Bioplasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.8 Biodegradable plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.9 Chlorinated paraffins, \u003cbr\u003e2.2.10 Citrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.11 Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, diisononyl ester \u003cbr\u003e2.2.12 Energetic plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.13 Epoxides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.14 Esters of C10-30 dicarboxylic acids \u003cbr\u003e2.2.15 Ether-ester plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.16 Glutarates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.17 Hydrocarbon oils \u003cbr\u003e2.2.18 Hydrocarbon resins \u003cbr\u003e2.2.19 Isobutyrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.20 Maleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.21 Oleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.22 Pentaerythritol derivatives \u003cbr\u003e2.2.23 Phosphates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.24 Phthalate-free plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.25 Phthalates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26 Polymeric plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26.1 Esters \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26.2 Polybutenes \u003cbr\u003e2.26.3 Others \u003cbr\u003e2.2.27 Ricinoleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.28 Sebacates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.29 Succinates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.30 Sulfonamides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.31 Superplasticizers and plasticizers for concrete \u003cbr\u003e2.2.32 Tri- and pyromellitates \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Methods of synthesis and their effect on properties of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Reactive plasticizers and internal plasticization \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 TYPICAL METHODS OF QUALITY CONTROL OF PLASTICIZERS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e3.1 Abbreviations, terminology, and vocabulary \u003cbr\u003e3.2 Acid number \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Aging studies \u003cbr\u003e3.4 Ash \u003cbr\u003e3.5 Brittleness temperature \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Brookfield viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Chemical resistance \u003cbr\u003e3.8 Color \u003cbr\u003e3.9 Compatibility \u003cbr\u003e3.10 Compression set \u003cbr\u003e3.11 Concrete additives \u003cbr\u003e3.12 Electrical properties \u003cbr\u003e3.13 Extractable matter \u003cbr\u003e3.14 Flash and fire point \u003cbr\u003e3.15 Fogging \u003cbr\u003e3.16 Fusion \u003cbr\u003e3.17 Gas chromatography \u003cbr\u003e3.18 Hardness \u003cbr\u003e3.19 Infrared analysis of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e3.20 Kinematic viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.21 Marking (classification) \u003cbr\u003e3.22 Melt rheology \u003cbr\u003e3.23 Migration \u003cbr\u003e3.24 Polyvinylchloride standard specification \u003cbr\u003e3.25 Powder-mix time \u003cbr\u003e3.26 Purity \u003cbr\u003e3.27 Refractive index \u003cbr\u003e3.28 Residual contamination \u003cbr\u003e3.29 Sampling \u003cbr\u003e3.30 Saponification value \u003cbr\u003e3.31 Saybolt viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.32 Sorption of plasticizer \u003cbr\u003e3.33 Specific gravity \u003cbr\u003e3.34 Specification \u003cbr\u003e3.35 Staining \u003cbr\u003e3.36 Stiffness \u003cbr\u003e3.37 Tensile properties \u003cbr\u003e3.38 Thermal expansion coefficient \u003cbr\u003e3.39 Unsaponifiable contents \u003cbr\u003e3.40 Viscosity of plastisols and organosols \u003cbr\u003e3.41 Water concentration \u003cbr\u003e3.42 Weight loss \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e4.1 Transportation \u003cbr\u003e4.2 Storage \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 MECHANISMS OF PLASTICIZERS ACTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A.
