| IDES began in 1986 when IBM needed a way to reference
technical information for the plastics they were using
to develop their computer products. What started out
as a handbook quickly progressed from floppy disks to
cd-rom and in the mid-90's, the Internet.
We provide plastics information in books and on the
web. Our resin reference books include Pocket Specs
for Injection Molding and Pocket Performance
Specs for Thermoplastics. The Prospector plastics
search engines help plastics professionals to quickly
retrieve tech data sheets from
650
global resin suppliers from one location.
The Plastics Web®, our latest initiative, organizes
tons of useful information about plastic materials including
supplier lists, processing guidelines and charts, chemical
resistance data, features and uses lists, tools, and
much more. It also incorporates the first vertical search
engine for plastics related content, allowing users
to search for keywords like 'nylon' and rather than
getting search results for panty-hose, they actually
connect with useful information about Polyamide polymers!
Something you may not know is that we provide custom
resin selectors for nearly all resin distributors and
a number of resin suppliers. You can see a listing by
visiting our customers
page.
We'd love to hear from you!
We always welcome your comments and ideas on how we
can improve or develop services to provide value for
plastics professionals.
