Rapid Moisture Analysis for Plastics

Reduce rejected product and wasted material

Nozzle drool. Impaired physical properties. Silver streaks and other cosmetic blemishes. If the moisture content in a resin is too high at processing time, you’re likely to end up with a costly, unusable mess. And as the materials science behind plastics continues to improve, resulting in stronger, lighter, and more durable resins, accurate moisture measurement and control will only become more critical. A moisture analyzer is an indispensable piece of equipment for injection molders, blow molders and extruders.

And not all moisture analyzers are created equal. Computrac® moisture analyzers have been helping plastics processors achieve their application goals since 1981. Our experienced team of analytical chemists and applications consultants will help you find the measurement solution that’s right for both your resin and your business.

Expert Application Support:
Free sample testing and free application development for as long as you own your Computrac.
Durable:
Computrac provides excellent moisture content results, without fragile and expensive glassware.
Proven:
Computrac has been validated by several ASTM methods for plastics and can correlate to many others, including ASTM D6869, Karl Fischer titration.
Save Money:
Accurate, low-level moisture readings with samples as small as 0.15g can save you 99.5% on your material costs for testing.
Save Energy:
Ensure your dryers are functioning properly and avoid wasting energy on overdrying by checking moisture content in your resin.
