Most plastic products and parts are expected to perform in environments other than room temperature and standard humidity conditions. This databank serves as an evaluation of plastics as they are exposed to varying operating conditions at different temperatures. Over 600 uniform graphs for more than 40 generic families of plastics are contained in this publication. Properties are sorted at various temperatures (ranging from 56 to 260 degrees Celsius) and graphs are labeled in both inch-pound and SI units.

This book is an update to the first edition compiled and published in 1990 by William Woishnis. A lot has changed in the field since 1990 and a lot has not changed. There are new plastic materials. There has been a huge turnover in ownership of plastics producing companies. There has been a lot of consolidation, which of course means discontinued products. Thus, this update is much more extensive than the usual "next edition." It has been reorganized from a chemistry point

This reference guide brings together a wide range of critical data on the effect of temperature on plastics and elastomers, enabling engineers to make optimal material choices and design decisions. The effects of humidity level and strain rate on mechanical and electrical properties are also covered. The data are supported by explanations of how to make use of the data in real world engineering contexts. High (and low) temperatures can have a significant impact on plastics processing and applications, particularly
