Monitoring melt temperature in high temperature plastics is critical as these plastics are more sensitive to increased melt temperature since they are processed closer to their degradation temperature. Often people do not even notice the high melt temperature due to their wrong measurement practices.


Kenneth Russell will look at these common practices and will help you understand why they do not provide an accurate measurement of your melt temperature. 


Watch this tutorial and learn how you can accurately measure melt temperature for your high heat plastics and understand what you can do to control and adjust it for higher quality product.
