European Plastic Pipes Market
Author: Trevor StaffordPublisher: iSmithers Rapra Publishing
ISBN: 1859572375
Category : Market surveys
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
This report has the objective of bringing together information from a broad spectrum of polymer and pipe supply technology and relating it to the regional and demographic trends of the demand side. This approach will enable readers to view their own more detailed market information within a broader context and consequently gain a more complete understanding of long term trends.
Regulation of Food Packaging in Europe and the USA
Author: Derek J KnightPublisher: iSmithers Rapra Publishing
ISBN: 9781859574713
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Annotation A wide variety of plastics are used in food-contact applications and it is important that such plastics do not affect the food with which they come into contact. The objective of food packaging legislation is to protect the consumer by controlling the contamination of food by chemicals transferred from the packaging. Food packaging regulations are constantly under revision, and differ significantly between Europe and the USA. This report provides a clearly written summary of the current legislation surrounding the use of plastics in contact with food. It discusses the plastics used in food packaging, their characteristics and applications. This review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Rapra Polymer Library database.

Polymeric Materials for Solar Thermal Applications
Author: Michael KöhlPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527659625
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
Bridging the gap between basic science and technological applications, this is the first book devoted to polymers for solar thermal applications. Clearly divided into three major parts, the contributions are written by experts on solar thermal applications and polymer scientists alike. The first part explains the fundamentals of solar thermal energy especially for representatives of the plastics industry and researchers. Part two then goes on to provide introductory information on polymeric materials and processing for solar thermal experts. The third part combines both of these fields, discussing the potential of polymeric materials in solar thermal applications, as well as demands on durability, design and building integration. With its emphasis on applications, this monograph is relevant for researchers at universities and developers in commercial companies.

Food Contact Polymeric Materials
Author: J.A. SidwellPublisher: iSmithers Rapra Publishing
ISBN: 9780902348691
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Polymeric materials have revolutionised the way we package store and even cook our food. We now buy soft and alcoholic drinks in transparent, lightc099 plastic bottles, and precooked meals in plastic trays which we reheat in a microwave or conventional oven. This state-of-the-art review draws together the legal framework within which the industry must work, with the technological advances being made both in materials performance and the analysis of migrating monomers and additives. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.
