PARTNERS & LINKS

Italian Plastics and Rubber processing Machinery and Moulds Manufacturers' Association.

American Society for Testing and Materials web site where you can order copies of ASTM Standards and Publications for a fee.

Custom Standards Service, Inc. also sells many international standards. Don't search by organization (i.e. ASTM) because if an organization has 250 standards available through CSS, it won't list any. Instead, search by the standard number or keywords.

European Center of Plastic.

The Polymers Extension Program (PEP) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte assists their regional plastic businesses by providing training and project development. Best of all, they provide laboratory testing services, including several done with Ceast equipment.

International Standardization Organization (ISO) for information on test standards ­ search by standard number of key word.

The Plastics Network.

Web site of Politecnico di Milano, birthplace of Polypropylene. In 1954, Dr. Natta first synthesized isotactic polypropylene at this fine University in Italy. Ceast's founder and president, Dr. Mario Grosso, was there.
