How the Guide Is Organized
The Buyers’ Guide is divided into five main sections: Associations (pp. 22-27), Product Index (pp. 28-29), Product Listings (pp. 30-59), and Suppliers and Distributors (pp. 60-69). The Product Listings are divided into eight major categories: Additives and Chemical Specialties; Oils and Fatty Acids; Resins and Base Polymers; Pigments and Dyes, Dry/Dispersions; Solvents; Containers, Packaging and Material Handling; Equipment; and Services.Looking Up a Manufacturer, Product or Service
If you know the name of the manufacturer(s), go directly to the Supplier Listings to find out more about the company. The Supplier Listings provide addresses, key personnel, telephone and fax numbers, email, and website addresses, as well as a brief description of the supplier companies.If you do not know the names of the manufacturers who supply the products of interest, simply refer to the Product Index. Products are listed alphabetically under each of the major categories. Find the appropriate page and go to the Product Listings section where an alphabetical listing of manufacturers/suppliers appears under each product heading. Advertising companies are listed in boldface type, and the page numbers of those ads are referenced. Find the companies of interest and proceed to the ad and the Supplier Listings.
