Polymers and Chemicals

Polymerization, plastics recycling or latex atomization are complex processes involving reaction mechanims often difficult to control. Most resins and specialty polymers are made using batch polymerization with unique recipes which requires constant adaptation of manufacturing parameters.

  COMMON CONTRAINTS ENCOUNTERED IN POLYMERIZATION CONTROL

- Production capacity limited by batch duration
- Evolution of reaction controlled by laboratory measurements which are costly and time consuming
- Unknown evolution between laboratory controls which affect final product quality and end-point detection
- Lack of control that can lead to hardening of polymer with loss of production and great material damage

Viscosity is directly correlated to molecular weight (molar mass). 

  THE INSTALLATION OF A SOFRASER PROCESS VISCOMETER ALLOWS:

- Optimization of cyle time to increase production
- Better end-point dectection
- Easier monitoring 
- Prevention of mass solidification
- Reduction of costly and time consuming laboratory sampling
- A single sensor able to provide high level of sensitivity over a very large measurement range

 Other polymer applications: EXTRUSION PROCESSES,  RECYCLING, SPINNING, CONCENTRATION, DILUTION or ATOMIZATION.
