Overview
Hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives (HMPSAs) represent a unique class of bonding materials widely used across industrial and consumer applications. These adhesives are solid at ambient temperatures but melt rapidly when heated, allowing precise application to a substrate. Once cooled, they harden to form a durable and flexible bond.
Industries such as packaging, converting, assembly, bookbinding, nonwovens, and footwear rely on hot melt adhesives for efficient, high-speed production with minimal drying time. The MoistTech IR-3000 Series provides a dual-function measurement system for both moisture content and coating thickness, ensuring optimal control and efficiency during production. This technology allows for immediate process adjustments to maintain high-quality adhesive performance and minimize waste.
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
Hoppers and Silos
Used for raw material moisture verification before processing.
Material Lines or Extruders
Used for coating thickness and bonding accuracy during application.
Belts or Screw Conveyors
Used for final quality verification before the product moves downstream.
Results are displayed instantly on an external monitor or integrated with a PLC or PC for advanced process management.
Understand the Process
Moisture control on the production line creates large savings in a little amount of time. Measuring moisture during the production process vs. batch testing after, will create higher yield for the end product usage. Immediate ROI is seen with the installation of a moisture measurement system as the plant controllers can instantaneously notice the reduced waste, energy usage & overall increase in product quality.
