Moisture content plays a crucial role in the processing and quality of plastics.
Too high a moisture content can lead to defects such as surface cracks, reduced mechanical properties and lower production stability in plastic parts / products. The ABONI HT3 HydroTracer offers an innovative and extremely accurate solution for moisture analysis in polymers, granulates and other materials.
The HT3 HydroTracer distinguishes itself from conventional moisture measurement methods by its advanced calcium hydride reaction technology. This system measures the actual water content in materials, without being influenced by volatile substances or additives, as with systems based on the “weight loss method”.
The system uses a so-called water-selective method, significantly less complex than the Karl Fischer titration, in combination with a chemical reaction in which calcium hydride reacts with water vapour. This creates a hydrogen development that is measured extremely accurately. This leads to a very reliable moisture determination, without the pitfalls of other methods.
The HydroTracer is used worldwide by plastics processors, laboratories, and quality control departments. Whether it concerns injection moulding, extrusion or additive manufacturing processes, precise moisture control is essential to prevent product deviations and to minimise costly production errors.
Conclusion
With the ABONI HT3 HydroTracer you take a step towards higher product quality and a more efficient production process. The combination of precision, reliability, and ease of use makes this instrument indispensable for anyone who takes moisture content seriously.
