Overview
Hydrocarbon coatings are widely utilized across multiple industries due to their versatile protective and performance-enhancing properties. They offer affordable protection from severe temperature fluctuations, corrosive environments, and high-stress conditions, while also reducing friction, increasing wear life, and enhancing adhesion and dry time. These coatings are fundamental in applications such as wood protectants, marine coatings, metal pipe coatings, paper coating production, fireproofing, and thermal stability enhancement.
To ensure coating uniformity and quality, precise moisture and coat weight measurement is essential. MoistTech’s IR-3000 Series Near-Infrared (NIR) sensors deliver non-contact, real-time monitoring of both moisture and coating thickness, enabling manufacturers to fine-tune processes, minimize waste, and maximize production efficiency.
Why Measure Moisture
Accurate, real-time moisture monitoring delivers multiple process and product benefits.
Quality Assurance
Energy Efficiency
Reduce Waste
Process Stability
RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
Above Coating Lines or Conveyors
Used for in-process monitoring during coating application.
After Application Stations
Used for real-time coat weight verification after application.
Post-Dryer
Used to confirm final product quality and moisture uniformity.
Results are displayed on an external digital monitor or integrated control interface, allowing operators to make immediate, data-driven process improvements.
