Moisture-Induced Performance Changes in High-Performance Polymers: Challenges and Mitigation

In this white paper, we look at how moisture absorption affects polymer materials used in the oil and gas industry. The paper covers the mechanisms of moisture penetration, how it leads to mechanical degradation, and increased permeability. Particular focus is placed on 3D-printed polymer parts, where microstructures can accelerate moisture absorption.
We also outline key strategies to mitigate moisture-related damage and improve durability.
