    Re: Processing Troubleshooting

    Re: Drying Desiccant

    I agree with Suhas, replacing it would be better than trying to "save" it. You are asking for more trouble than it's worth.

    Re: Viscosity change lot to lot

    I would say anywhere between 5 to 10% from lot to lot for engineering grade resins is common. Commodity resins may have potential for slightly high variation, maybe upwards of 15% depending on the...
