This compact glossary in eight languages (English German Spanish Italian French Portuguese
Russian and Chinese) contains more than 2300 terms related to the chemistry properties
testing and processing of plastic materials. It was created to help bridge the language
barriers within the international plastics manufacturing community. The concept is easy: a
word-for-word translation without further explanation or interpretation. The glossary is
particularly valuable for a quick reference of technical terms from a foreign language to the
respective mother tongue and vice versa. Alphabetical indexes are included to make looking up
terms fast and simple from any starting language. Even for translation of short technical texts
or brochures the glossary will be a helpful tool. The 8th edition includes approximately 300
new terms and the addition of Portuguese as an additional language. The print edition also
includes a code for a fully searchable electronic version available via download (Windows PC
required).
