Applications of Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) in Plastics and Rubber Industry

Overview

In the plastics and polymers industry, moisture content can impact the properties of the material, such as its strength, durability, and appearance. Excessive moisture can lead to defects in the final product, such as cracking, warping, or reduced mechanical properties. By accurately measuring moisture analyzers and meters are designed to provide accurate and reliable measurements of moisture content in plastics and polymers. These instruments use various techniques, such as moisture balance, infrared moisture analysis, or capacitance measurement, to determine the moisture content in the material.

Depending on specific features and functions, GAO Tek’s Moisture analyzers and meters are sometimes referred to as humidity analyzers, moisture content analyzers, moisture meters, hygrometers, water content analyzers, dew point meters, moisture balance, moisture testing equipment, water activity analyzers, moisture gauges, dampness meters, water vapor analyzers, moisture detection devices, hydration analyzers, and moisture measuring instruments.

Furthermore, GAO Tek’s moisture analyzers and meters are further grouped into:      

Benchtop, Concrete, Draft Shield, Handheld, High Precision, High Speed, Industrial, Manual-off, Data Logging, Lithium Battery, Outdoor, Paper, Pollution, Rugged, Wired, and Wood
