5.0 out of 5 stars
a must if you formulate for a living,
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Adhesives (Hardcover)
This book, if you can get it (just because you see it here, doesn't mean 'they' can get it for you), is a fantastic overview of all adhesive types. Most chapters are distinguished by polymer type. Plenty of "starting formulas" and the like. I am a relatively young chemist in the industry (3 years), yet I cannot underestimate the value of this manual. My background, although limited as I have said, is as an adhesive formulator for an adhesive manufacturer. Come to think of it, I should point out that this handbook is definately written for formulators, and not so much for end users. Please forgive the brevity and direct nature of my sentence structure and any spelling errors... I have to go watch a good movie that I have been dying to see for a while and don't have time to proof read now. Why did they stop making these books? Is skeist dead? O wait, the movie isn't the one I thought is was. Anyway...some of the stuff is kindof dated...just a little. For instance, I remember (my last employer had this book, I ordered it for my current company) the neoprene chapter refered to grades of neoprene that Dupont killled long ago. Thats just an example, but most info is still relavant. I would hate to say that ALL adheive type are covered, becaues who knows? ya know? I CAN say that my company dealt with about 8 polymer types, and all of those were covered (in spades) in this book. I value this book so much that I have ordered it with my own money, not the company's (so I can take it with me). O, my background again...mostly rubber: neoprenes, SBR's, block copolymers (kraton types), nitriles, PVC, PVA, EVA (VAE), PU, phenolic resins, acrylics, butyl, natural rubber (and synthetic natural ruber (oxymoran?)), more? I work in carriers, either water or solvetn...no hotmelts or 100% solids. I can't think right now... What an obscure title! I wonder how many people will actualy read this. For those who have put up with this rant.. i would like to conclude as follows: I reccomed this book for adhesvie formulators, especially if you want to know about cross disciplinary adhesives (can I trademark that statement?). i have concluded (with the help of beer) that almost noone will read this. Regardless, it's a damn good book. Unfortunately, its rare too. I ordered it 10 weeks ago from B&N dot com and I STILL haven't received it yet. Geez. Good luck trying to get your copy. again, please forgive my spelling. -r
