An incorporated technical organization founded in 1937 and serving the needs of the entire plastics industry in the U.S. It establishes standards for the properties and selection of materials and for product design and engineering. Its two major publications are the Plastics Engineering Handbook and the Reinforced Plastics Handbook. With it are associated the Plastics Pipe Institute and the Reinforced Plas-tics/Composites Institute. It is located at 1801 K ST NW, Suite 600K, Washington DC 20006. Website http //www.socplas.org.

The Composites Institute, a division of the Society of Plastics Industry, Inc., estimates that composite shipments in 1998 were 1.63 billion kg and have increased 53% (K. Walshon, Society of Plastics Industry, Composites Institute, Personal communication, Oct. 1999) since 1991. Table 4.10 shows the distribution of composite shipments according to industry sectors and indicates that the largest shipment percentage is to the transportation and construction sectors. Corrosion-resistant applications account for only 11.8%.

During the 1940s the Society of the Plastics Industry started the Low Pressure Industries Division, which shortly thereafter became the Reinforced Plastics Division under the direction of Charlie Condit and in 1954, with D. V. Rosato s leadership, the Reinforced Plastics/Com-posite Division. It is currently called the Composites Institute. The original product was glass-fiber-thermoset polyester plastic RPs. To date about 90wt% of all RPs continue to be glass-fiber-TS polyester plastics.
