The offer is worth £99.00 at Rapra's current rates.

Most importantly the offer will give new users a no-pressure opportunity to browse and evaluate the wealth of information on offer at no cost.

Rien van den Hondel, Rapra Business Manager Databases, says that 'if you've not tried out our library before - you'll quickly come to understand the value of this vast bank of polymer knowledge.

It contains over 850,000 records relating to plastics, rubbers and adhesives, yet it is a simple matter to identify and access the material you need to match your particular interest.

Whatever your expertise, why not accept this offer without any further obligation? You will have 30 days to use up your £99 credit and to explore this unique electronic collection of polymer literature.' Rapra believes that most users of the free database offer who have any practitioner responsibility for plastics and rubbers in their jobs will return as subscribers.

Demand for the polymer database - which is expanded and updated on a two-weekly basis - is rising as more and more plastics innovations and products are brought forward to market.

Accessing the database is seen as a vital first step, not just for scientists and researchers, but also for designers and developers of new products, in ensuring that they know what prior knowledge exists before they embark on their specific development.

Key users of the database include major corporations, one example being PolyOne.

Peter Bowler, their Manager of Knowlege and Information, USA, says that 'PolymerLibrary.com is the most critical information service that we buy to monitor developments in the industry.' He adds that Rapra's Polymer Library is 'the keystone of our ways to stay abreast of what is happening in plastics and rubber technology and commerce around the globe.

We provide 24x7 access to most of our technologists and we also run regular Alert updates on competitors.' Source material from the library is selected from more than 400 journals in a wide range of languages from 30 countries.
