Databook of UV Stabilizers, Third Edition provides key information on the most frequently-used UV stabilizers, specifically catering to various industries including automotive, aerospace, polymers, plastics, rubber, cosmetics, food preservation, adhesives, coatings, medical equipment, packaging materials, solar cells, and more. Health and safety concerns are covered, including issues related to skin penetration, toxic degradation products, and the effect of converted radiation energy to heat on the skin’s temperature. The environmental effect of UV stabilizers is also discussed, with an emphasis on responsible use and disposal. Other data provided includes acronyms, molecular weight, odor, product form, transmittance, DOT hazard class, NFPA flammability/reactivity, aquatic toxicity, typical applications, processing methods, conditions to avoid, and much more for each stabilizer covered. The book is an excellent companion to the Handbook of UV Stabilizers. Both books supplement each other without repeating the same information - one contains data the other theory, mechanisms of action, practical effects, and implications of application.
