Basics

  • PET (Plastic) undergoes hydrolysis when even slightly damp at it's melting point
  • THUS it is best to store it at least moderately dry, and/or dry pre-use (in some process/machine integrated dryer)

To Do

  • Specific data on water level vs degradation (a graph of water g/kg vs tensile strength or something?)
  • Find Methods of in-machine drying (fluidized in hot air, like a hot air corn popper?)
