The Vanderbilt Latex Handbook

 

by Robert F. Mausser

 

This handbook has been compiled as a source of information for persons primarily engaged in the latex branch of the industry. It is intended to serve as a guide for the novice compounder so that laboratory and plant trials will generate meaningful data. For the experienced compounder, it is intended to serve as both a current and handy reference. Emphasis has intentionally been placed on the use of Vanderbilt compounding ingredients throughout the handbook.
