Residual Moisture Uncovered: The Key to Consistent Polymer Quality

Residual moisture is a decisive factor in plastics processing, influencing quality, stability, and profitability. Excess or insufficient water causes streaking, bubbling, foaming, and costly rejects in injection molding and extrusion. Moisture varies across the value chain, making control essential from raw material delivery to final inspection. This webinar reveals why only water-selective analysis delivers reliable results, avoids misleading data from volatiles, and ensures compliance with international standards while reducing waste and energy costs.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the consequences of excess or insufficient residual moisture in injection molding (defects, reduced quality, costly rejects)
  • Identify critical points in the value chain where moisture affects polymer quality and where QA/QC control is essential
  • Learn about established methods for moisture analysis, their practical limitations, and why water-selective analysis delivers superior reliability
  • See how advanced moisture analysis tools provide quick, precise, and reproducible results – even without highly trained staff
  • Understand how modern systems integrate seamlessly with other characterization methods for comprehensive material insights

Who should attend?

  • Polymer Research & Development
  • Quality Control & Assurance in Plastics Processing
  • Polymer Manufacturing & Processing Plants
  • Testing Laboratories & Service Providers
  • Academia & Education in Polymer Technology
  • Recycling Industry (e.g., PET)
