Technology provides a platform for real-time measurement of the concentration of resin, wax, and moisture in the manufacturing process for the wood panel market
Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD), supplier of field-portable spectrometers, and Dynea, a provider of industrial adhesive systems, announce the signing of a formal world-wide co-marketing agreement to bring near-infrared (NIR) analysis capabilities to the wood panel market.
For this application, ASD will use its unique capabilities in an integrated on-line solution, combined with patented Dynea technology to bring process improvement and savings to the producers of wood-based composite materials.
This unique technology provides a platform for real-time measurement of the concentration of resin, wax, and moisture in the manufacturing process.
NIR is a non-destructive analysis technique which allows manufacturers to collect data without altering existing manufacturing procedures.
"By better control of these parameters, our customers are better positioned to reduce waste and down-grades, resulting in substantial cost savings," says Rob Schmidt, Dynea's senior vice president of market applications.
"We are excited about our partnership with Dynea," says Brian Curtiss, chief technology officer at ASD.
"This is a perfect application for our technology, and we look forward to great success."
