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.
< 5 s to a process value0 sampling · 0 reagents24/7 self-cleaning probeAutomatic calibration
Phenol, urea and melamine condensation with formaldehyde, plus formalin and methanol-to-HCHO upstream.
Master variable
F/U & F/Ph molar ratio
The ratio that sets reactivity - measured live instead of inferred after the batch.
Reference technique
Raman spectroscopy
The core of the Spectrally platform - around 70% of the measurement portfolio.
Where it sits
In the reactor, 24/7
Immersion probe in the reactor or line, feeding your PLC / DCS continuously.
01Inside this mini-site
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.
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.
Offline lab loop
20-45min
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.
Spectrally inline
< 5s
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.

Your next step
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.
