Dehumidifying or drying plastics in the processing phase is a vital part of injection molding. Drying plastic resin is used to minimize or eliminate complications that may be caused by too much moisture in a plastic material. The extent to which moisture affects the quality of a molded part is determined by the specific plastic resin being processed and the intended purpose of the part. This article will discuss two categories of resins as well as the advantages of drying plastic material. [Read more…] about The Importance of Drying Plastics: Plastic Part Making
