 reference guides for plastics technicians and engineers is available from the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE SPE - Software Practice and Experience ), Brookfield, Conn. Called the Plastics Technicians Toolbox See toolkit and toolbar. , the guides are designed, to provide practical information for everyday use and insights into problem-solving and troubleshooting.

 series is the first to be published, though others are being developed for each major plastics manufacturing process.

The Injection Molding Toolbox has two volumes. The first covers fundamentals of molding--basic polymer science Polymer science or macromolecular science is the subfield of materials science concerned with polymers, primarily synthetic polymers such as plastics. The field of polymer science includes researchers in multiple disciplines including chemistry, physics, and engineering. , machine operations, and a glossary of terms. The second addresses machinery; molds, processing, and troubleshooting. It comes with a troubleshooting pocket guide.

The fundamentals section costs $358 for SPE members and $452 for non-members, while the molding guide costs $193 or $243, respectively. Together they cost $550 ($695 for non-members). Tel:(203) 740-5475, www.4spe.org
