Molded plastic products must be cooled by means of cold water in the cavity of the mold. However, lowering the chilled water temperature below the dew point of the ambient air causes condensation on the mold surface. For example, moisture can lead to defects in the molded product and can permanently damage the mold itself or drastically increase its service intervals - resulting in more rejected products and higher operating costs. However, increasing the chilled water temperature increases the cooling time, slows down the manufacturing process, and reduces overall productivity. The proven Mold Area Protection (MAP) systems have been specifically designed to dehumidify molds and ensure sweat-free production throughout the year, even under tropical conditions. The addition of antifreeze is forgone.
