The METTLER TOLEDO guide provides an overview of the most common methods for moisture and water determination in plastics and polymers, and a review of sample applications.
To assist those who work with plastics, both in the laboratory and along the production line, METTLER TOLEDO has launched a new guide on moisture and water content determination in plastics. The ‘Moisture Guide for Plastics‘ presents the different methods of moisture and water content determination: Loss of weight, chemical reaction, thermo gravimetric, spectroscopic and other types of analysis. The guide reviews the advantages and disadvantages of the respective methods, offers tips and tricks to enhance the reliability and performance of measurements and shows solutions to common challenges.
Moisture content of resins, such as polyamides or polycarbonates, is an important factor in plastic processing, appearance and properties of the final plastic product.
