Description
This extensively updated second edition was created for medical device, medical
packaging, and food packaging design engineers, material product technical support,
and research/development personnel. This comprehensive databook contains important
characteristics and properties data on the effects of sterilization methods on
plastics and elastomers. It provides a ready reference for comparing materials in
the same family as well as materials in different families.

Data is presented on 43 major plastic and elastomer packaging materials, including

biodegradable or organic polymers. New to this edition are resin chapters
containing textual summary information including: category; general description;
applications; resistances to particular sterilization methods; and regulatory
status considerations for use in medical devices and medical/food packaging. The
resin chapter material supplier trade name product data is presented in graphical
and tabular format, with results normalized to SI units, retaining the familiar
format of the best selling first edition and allowing easy comparison between
materials and test conditions.

Readership
Medical device, medical packaging, and food packaging design engineers, material
product technical support, and research/development personnel.
