Read the reaction as it happens.
Spectrally™ puts a self-cleaning Raman probe straight into your PF, UF, MUF/MF and UFC reactors. Free formaldehyde, free phenol, F/U molar ratio, solids and the condensation endpoint - measured in seconds, in-process, with no sampling and no reagents.
Phenol, urea and melamine condensation with formaldehyde, plus formalin and methanol-to-HCHO upstream.
The ratio that sets reactivity - measured live instead of inferred after the batch.
The core of the Spectrally platform - around 70% of the measurement portfolio.
Immersion probe in the reactor or line, feeding your PLC / DCS continuously.
Everything a resin plant asks us - one page per answer.
Six focused pages: the chemistries we cover, the parameters we read, how the measurement works, the feasibility results behind it, the regulatory context and the instrument itself.
The reaction does not wait for the lab.
Residual phenol and formaldehyde come back from offline HPLC and titration 20 to 45 minutes later - while the condensation keeps running. By then, the window to correct has usually closed.
Sample, walk to the lab, run HPLC or titration, wait, report. Batch-to-batch F/U variance only surfaces as a reactivity problem at your customer - after the resin has shipped. Miss the endpoint and the batch over-condenses into scrap.
The probe reads the reactor continuously and streams values to your control system. The endpoint is caught while you can still act on it - so the offline methods become verification, not the bottleneck.
Spectrum to a process value, continuously.
Up to 45 minutes of HPLC / titration wait, gone.
Mean absolute error vs the reference method.
Acid value and viscosity regressions on real resin.
Put it on your reactor - starting with your own samples.
Send representative samples or R&D data from your PF, UF, MUF/MF or UFC process. We build and validate a chemometric model on your matrix and show you exactly what inline Raman would read on your line - before any commitment.
