Handbook of Plasticizers, 3rd Edition, authored by George Wypych and published by ChemTec Publishing, is a comprehensive professional reference. The volume offers technical guidance to help R&D scientists, production chemists, and engineers select plasticizers effectively while avoiding health hazards and material durability problems.

The handbook examines how plasticizers function across industrial applications, detailing their role in improving materials such as PVC. Core areas of discussion include mechanisms of plasticizer action, compatibility principles, diffusion behavior, and the effects of plasticizers on overall formulations and processing methods.

In addition to compounding principles, the handbook reviews quality control methods, analytical testing, regulatory requirements, personal protection, and plasticizer recovery and recycling.
