This issue features ASI’s 17th annual Raw Materials, Chemicals, Polymers and Additives Handbook, a purchasing and applications resource that defines materials used to manufacture adhesives and sealants, and indexes suppliers of those materials.

The listings are divided into three major categories:

• Additives and Chemical Specialties
• Pigments and Dyes, Dry/Dispersions and Extenders 
• Resins and Base Polymers 

The directory is set up with a definition of each material followed by the names of suppliers that furnish the material. Products are listed alphabetically under each major category.

While our staff made every effort to contact the entire population of materials suppliers to our industry, we may have inadvertently excluded some. If you are a materials supplier and would like to receive information on purchasing listings in next year’s Raw Materials, Chemicals, Polymers and Additives Handbook, please contact Stacey Hurley at (248) 786-1662 or hurleys@bnpmedia.com.
