SPECIALTY POLYMERS............Skeist Incorporated has been following the commercial and technical developments of a select group of specialty polymers for 40 years. This report   encompasses over 120 polymers, both addition and condensation types.  These are elite materials, which often experience rapid growth.  On average, prices are higher and the materials are likely to be more profitable than their commodity counterparts.  In addition, their marketing value is often significantly enhanced by their proprietary nature.  They provide high value added to many end products.

The burgeoning field of specialty polymers offers exciting profit opportunities.  Some firms have managed very well to participate in the growth of the polymer industry without heavy reliance on the commodity end of the business.  Their long-range strategy has been the development of specialized, proprietary polymers.  High prices and good return on investment have usually compensated for high R&D costs.

The polymers included in the report are:
