Rubbers & plastics

Rubber
As a material of natural origin, rubber has a tendency to equilibrium with the humidity of the surrounding environment. If the absorbed level is too high or low, this can have a significant impact on the materials ability to be reprocessed, and the subsequent final product`s quality.

Plastics
If there is too much moisture or humidity present within plastic granules prior to injection moulding, then imperfections such as `blow holes` can result. Spot checks using an insertion type handheld instrument on delivery from the supplier, or just prior to use can prevent quality problems.
