This volume describes more than 2500 engineering resins which are currently avaiable for industrial usage. The definition of engineering resins differs depending on whom one asks. The book contains those products which are termed "engineering plastics" as well as "upgraded commodity resins". The book will be of value to industrial technical and managerial personnel involved in the specification and use of these products. It has been compiled from information received from numerous industrial companies and other organizations. The data included represent selections from manufactures descriptions made at no cost to, nor influence from, the makers or distributors of the materials. Only the most recent information has been included. Products covered include blends, composites, alloys, and resins with superior impact resistance, heat or cold resistance, and or stiffness. The products have been manufactgured to meet high performance requirements in majo0r end-use industries-automotive, packaging, electronics, computers and business equipment, aerospace and medical supplies. Many can be tailored to specific end-uses on request. It is believed that all of the products listed here are currently avaiable, which will be of interest to readers concerned with product discontinuances. Products are present by company, and the companies are listed alphabetically. The table of contents is organized in such a way as to serve as a company index to the book. Also included is a Trade Name Index, for easy and rapid location of products by the reader. In addition, another section, which will be useful, contains the Supplier's Addresses. It can be found immediately following the Product Information Section. The book lists the following product information, as avaiable, in the manufacturer's own words: 1- Copmpany name and product category; 2- Trade name and product numbers; 3- Product Description: a description of the product, as presented by the supplier.

My fullest appreciation is expressed to the companies and organizations who supplied the data included in this book.
