Glossary

...This short book packs a surprising amount of technical information into a format that is clear and easy to understand, yet without overly simplifying the concepts.
--Tejbans S. Kohli, Manager, Materials Engineering, MPD, Lord Corporation

This book...would be an excellent text for a brief training course for non-technical employees of businesses and organizations within and relevant to the rubber industry.
--Charles P. Rader, Advanced Elastomer Systems (retired)

A great little book that fills a need for people new to the industry, front office and sales people, and for those of us who have to explain the basics to the occasional unknowing customer.
--Kevin Underwood, Manager of Materials, Barry Controls

...This should be required reading for all new to the rubber industry... The glossary alone is worth the price of this publication.
