499 Pages, PDF
Numerous tables and figures are included, providing structures and physico-chemical data. A special section for beginners is dedicated to guiding formulations and test methods. A relatively short section deals with development trends in Europe. Sustainability is a major theme, and it is demonstrated that PVC has a strong potential to develop into a fully sustainable material.
Another section deals with the everyday problems in the processing of PVC, such as the formation of specks, photo-effects, and plate-out. Plate-out is a common problem in the processing of PVC but only relatively few publications cover it. The causes, influencing factors, and mechanisms are still poorly understood. This section, unique in the literature, provides assistance in the selection and dosage of raw materials to PVC processor, based on the influencing factors during processing.
Included in this 2nd edition is a significant new section on bio-based platicizers, as well as many other updates, additions, and improvements, such as new test methods and guide formulations, coverage of chemical blowing agents and antistatic agents, and much more.

"The author, Michael Schiller, has advanced degrees in organic chemistry and photo chemistry, and more then 20 years leading R&D at pvc manufacturers. His passion for pvc, as well as his humor, shine through the text. [...] The second edition includes a new section on plasticizers based on renewable resources. [...] Although written from a chemist's perspective the text is accessible for anyone in the pvc industry who needs to be knowledgable about these subjects. The book is thus useful to read as a primer or to have a reference when formulating pvc compounds or troubleshooting problems in processing or applications." Jennifer Markarian, Plastics Engineering, January, 2023
