What's New in Prospector?

Over the past few months, we've made several updates to the Prospector Plastics Database that are available for you the next time you login to Prospector.

	Property Name Search in Property Search Quickly filter properties to search material properties faster.
	Graphical Scatter Plot Seeing search results in a data grid is okay,  but scanning the data could make you go blind.  Save your vision, and a lot of time by viewing results in an x-y chart.
	Graphical Spider Plot With the spider plot you'll be able to graphically compare up to 8 properties for 5 materials.  It helps you see the differences between materials and helps you communicate those differences with team members and customers.
	Histogram in Property Search You've been searching in the dark!  The histogram is like a big ol flashlight!
