Published by the Plastics Design Library, PDLCOM is an exhaustive reference source of how exposure environments influence the physical characteristics of plastics. Data include resistance to thousands of chemicals, weathering and UV exposure (i.e. color change after accelerated weathering or outdoor exposure) sterilization (radiation, ethylene oxide, steam, etc.) thermal air and water aging environmental stress cracking and much more.

In compiling this data, the philosophy of Plastics Design Library is to provide as much information as is available. This means that complete information for each test is provided. At the same time, an effort is made to provide information for as many exposure environment and plastic combinations as possible. Therefore, even if detailed test results are not available (i.e. the only information available is that a material is resistant or has limited resistance), information is still provided. The belief is that some limited information serves as a reference point and is better than no information. Flexibility and ease of use were also carefully considered in designing the layout of the book. As a result, you ll find this reference publication to be a valuable resource and an asset in your work.
