Resin Moisture
Resin Moisture Can Determine Quality
In the plastic and wood processing industries, the addition of resin is a critical step in the process. As such, it is paramount to have the ability to accurately determine the resin moisture content of the base wood product before the addition of resin. Introducing a resin when the moisture content is too high will reduce the bonding capabilities of the resin, introduce potential safety and equipment problems, and degrade the properties of the finished product. Monitoring resin content and resin coating thickness are also essential in optimizing product quality and reducing costs related to product waste.
MoistTech’s IR3000 excels in resin moisture measurement. Its applications in the plastics and wood processing industries extend to resin moisture control, coating thickness measurement, and temperature monitoring — crucial for resin coatings in plastics, chipboard, bonding, impregnated wood, adhesives, and varnishes.
