Database Description

The Plastic Properties Database, which is owned by Gardner Publications, Inc., provides detailed engineering and design data, chemical descriptions, and trade names for over 11,500 grades of plastics materials. Records may contain up to 65 properties and characteristics for each grade. Data is provided for thermoset, thermoplastic, and elastomeric materials in more than 60 generic families.

The file is especially useful to design and manufacturing engineers for finding plastic materials with the desired combination of engineering and processing properties. Numeric data is searchable to allow selection of materials that meet design requirements. Results can be displayed in tabular format for easy comparison and evaluation of plastics having appropriate performance characteristics.
