Permeability properties are essential data for the selection of materials and design of products across a broad range of market sectors from food packaging to automotive applications to medical devices. In its fourth edition, Permeability Properties of Plastics and Elastomers is a comprehensive resource that brings together a wealth of permeability data in a form that enables quick like-for-like comparisons between materials. Authored by industry insider Larry McKeen, the book is structured with four introductory chapters followed by detailed chapters organized by plastic type. Each chapter includes a manufacturer and trade name list, applications and uses list, as well as tabular and graphical data. It features explanatory text aimed at making the content accessible and the data is supported by a full explanation of its interpretation. This book is a valuable resource for professionals in the field looking to stay up-to-date on the latest permeability information and its application in various industries.

Larry McKeen has a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin and worked for DuPont Fluoroproducts from 1978–2014. As a Senior Research Associate (Chemist), he was responsible for new product development including application technology and product optimization for particular end-uses, and product testing. He retired from DuPont at the end of 2014 and is currently a consultant.
