Why Understanding Moisture Content is Key to Effective Resin Drying

Knowing the starting moisture of plastic resin and then properly drying the resin is one of the most critical steps in making a cost-effective, quality plastic product. Improperly dried material can have an astronomically negative effect on your bottom-line profits. If the plastic resin is processed with too much or too little moisture, processing problems and product quality issues can occur. Those issues cost manufacturers time, energy and even customer relationships.
