This book describes all aspects of reaction polymers, including their production, application, and analysis, as well as the health and safety factors associated with their manufacture and industrial use. The authors are leading specialists in the field and the information gathered here isbased on many years of research and practical experience. The topic is especially important since reaction polymers are a major segment of the polymer industry. In 1990, the global demand for the four major reaction polymers (polyurethane, and phenolic, polyester, and epoxy resins) was in theorder of ten million metric tons. This resource will thus be read with interest by a wide range of plastics professionals, chemists, engineers, and materials and polymer scientists.
This text investigates the comprehensive chemical, technological, and industrial landscape of reaction polymers, specifically focusing on polyurethanes, epoxies, unsaturated polyesters, and phenolics. The author, Gum, synthesizes decades of research and practical industrial experience to provide a technical framework for understanding the production, application, and safety protocols governing these materials. The work serves as a reference for the chemical properties and market dynamics that define this significant segment of the global polymer industry.
