What is in it?
The Plastics data provides datasheets for more than 90,000 plastic materials from leading materials suppliers, including searchable properties for global standards from organizations including ASTM, ISO, IEC and DIN, and application information. The Additives data contains key properties for additive, filler and masterbatch products, that can be compounded with plastic materials to enhance performance or safety, reduce weight and cost, or improve processing processes.
UL Yellow Cards for Plastics list multiple safety and performance related properties for polymeric materials tested by UL to appropriate standards. The test data shows that a material is appropriate for specific applications and helps ensure that the manufacturer is using a tested and certified material for safety. UL Colorants data specifies how colorants and additives can be used with plastic materials to achieve a certain flame rating.
