Karl Fischer Titration Interference Mechanisms in Recycled Polyester Flake Qualification
Karl Fischer moisture testing of recycled PET flake requires thermal desorption at 170 C with methanol-free reagents to eliminate volatile interference.
Optimizing Desiccant Drying Parameters to Prevent Hydrolytic Degradation in Recycled Polyester
Optimize rPET desiccant drying at 160-170°C with -45°C dew point dry air to maintain moisture under 30 ppm and prevent intrinsic viscosity drop.
Post Consumer Recyclate Content a Supplier Can Actually Evidence
Evidencing post-consumer recyclate requires batch-level physical mass balance audit trails, independent radiocarbon or DSC testing, and rigorous dock-side sampling before silos accept delivery.
