Textbook of Contact Dermatitis

Abstract

The polymer industry is now one of the most important branches of the chemical industry and uses a wider variety of chemicals than any other. The number of commercially important plastics today is around 50. Application areas for plastics are many and varied; the construction industry, packaging, electronics, recreation, medical, etc. Of the base plastics, 30% are used for packaging and 20% in the construction industry.
