Time to Get Drying Right
Special supplement on resin drying coming with May issue of Plastics Technology.
It’s one of the most nettlesome of issues…resin drying. Even the most grizzled of molders is often vexed by it. Well coming in the May issue there might be a solution to your resin-drying problems.
You’ll be receiving your May issue with a supplement—as in another publication. We’re calling this supplemental publication Drying Done Right. It will contain materials tips from our noted Materials Know How columnist Mike Sepe; equipment tips from injection molding wizard John Bozzelli, frequent author of our Injection Molding Know How column; and an article highlighting molders and extrusion processors who are on top of their game when it comes to drying hygroscopic materials and were willing to share their secrets about it with us.
So look for this supplement with the regular May issue of Plastics Technology. Both publications will come at the same time in a polybag.
Meantime, check out our Drying Knowledge Center and Drying Zone for more insights on this critical topic.
