Fibers and Moisture Control

Cellulose fibers are hygroscopic by nature, meaning that they absorb atmospheric moisture.  This presents interesting challenges for Woodstream and our customers.  Nevertheless, our unique compounding technique reduces the internal moisture levels to below .5%, allowing us to create injection-grade pellets with fiber loadings from 30% to 50% without sacrificing the composites' quality and moldability.
