Essential Rubber Formulary provides more than 180 essential rubber formulas, some of which have never been published, that are used by practitioners on a frequent basis. A special feature of the formulations is that they are designed for factory scale applications.

The opening chapter of Essential Rubber Formulary gives practical information on compounding techniques, coloring, ingredients, as well as a whole section on typical rubber testing methods. The book concludes with appendices useful for the technologist that include seven conversion tables and three tables on scorching of rubber, specific gravity and volume cost, equivalent chemical names for trade names.
