Literature.BOOKS Synthetic Rubber synthetic rubber: see rubber. Manual - 14th Edition. 150 pages. Price, $90. International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers, Houston, TX (1998). This 14th edition of the Synthetic Rubber Manual is an in-depth compilation on a grade-by-grade basis of more than 2,000 of the commercial synthetic rubbers and polymers manufactured worldwide. In providing the technical characteristics of each elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. , the book's 50-plus tables contain technical points designed to help rubber product manufacturers determine not only the nature of a particular rubber, but its suitability for a specific process as well. This manual is published every three years. REPORTS/STUDIES Polymers. Brochures highlight the company's services and syndicated studies available from its Polymers and Materials Practice.

Literature is available on basalt cut fiber, a continuous basalt fiber Basalt fiber or fibre is a material made from extremely fine fibers of basalt, which is composed of the minerals plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine. It is similar to carbon fibre and fiberglass, having better physicomechanical properties than fiberglass, but being filament filament, in astronomy: see chromosphere. which has been chopped to a specific fiber length in a dry cutting process. The fibers are coated with a sizing treatment which is said to make them highly compatible with epoxy and phenolic resins. Applications listed include tires, gaskets, seals and butyl rubber butyl rubber: see rubber. , as well as plastics, adhesives/sealants, molding, etc. (Wooding Technologies) Circle 126 on card Mold releases. The company's web site lists products that are available for qualified industrial users to test for free, including mold releases, lubricants, cleaners, rust preventives, purging compounds, cutting oils and more. Manufacturers can review a variety of solutions and then order a free sample and test the ones they feel meet their particular application. The web site offers charts and detailed product descriptions to help molders, toolmakers and manufacturers simplify the selection of products that meet their individual needs, according to the company. Product formulations and applications, as well as operating temperatures and product features and characteristics are all available on the web site.
