Written for "non-materials" engineers, managers, technicians, purchasing agents and students, this primer satisfies a need for those who must be able to communicate with materials specialists and plastics processors.

This introduction to both the terminology and technology of plastics processing includes primary operations and equipment for extrusion, molding, casting and thermoforming; as well as ancillary equipment and process tooling.

As an experienced educator, the author has prepared an easy-to-read presentation, amply supported with clear illustrations, that can serve as an excellent primer for those interested in developing a comprehensive understanding of plastics processing.
