Benefits
Composite applications such as creating carbon fiber or similar materials require absolute humidity control to guarantee manufacturing processes that enable for consistent quality and durability.
Better quality control
Maintaining RH in range ensures consistent coatings, avoiding defects in composites.
Stable processes
Humidity control ensures quality, saves energy, prevents static and supports composite production.
Hygienic reliability
Proper humidity helps reduce material and product waste in composite manufacturing.
Humidification in composites, carbon fibres and plastics manufacturing
Hygienic, low-maintenance humidification systems
Designed for demanding industrial environments, Condair’s humidification and dehumidification systems combine reliability with low maintenance and hygienic operation. Advanced water treatment options, including reverse osmosis pre-filtration, prevent scale formation and mineral build-up that can reduce performance over time. This extends equipment life, lowers energy consumption and minimises service requirements. The hygienic design, combined with automatic flush and drain functions, reduces the risk of microbial growth and ensures consistently clean, safe operation. In composite manufacturing, where surface cleanliness, material integrity and consistent curing are critical, these features provide reliable humidity control that fully complies with strict hygiene and quality standards. The result is a durable, energy-efficient solution that supports continuous production and long-term operational stability.
Precise humidity control for composite quality
Maintaining precise humidity control through both humidification and dehumidification, is essential to achieving consistent quality in composite manufacturing. Condair’s humidity control systems stabilise the environment within the optimal 40–60% RH range, protecting composite materials from warping, surface cracking, or irregular curing. Balanced humidity ensures that resins and fibres maintain their designed properties, while adhesives bond uniformly and coatings cure evenly. The result is improved dimensional accuracy, maintains structural strenght, reduced rejection rates, and reliable mechanical performance across every production batch. By managing humidity in both directions, Condair’s solutions provide a stable and predictable environment that supports the demanding standards of modern composite production, while also enhancing energy efficiency, reducing maintenance requirements, and ensuring consistent output under varying seasonal and operational conditions.
Stable processes that reduce waste and downtime
Fluctuations in humidity directly affect the behaviour of composite materials, often causing defects, delamination and unnecessary waste. Condair’s humidity control systems maintain stable environmental conditions that significantly reduce scrap and rework while ensuring smooth and consistent curing and drying cycles. By keeping moisture levels within the optimal range, the manufacturing process becomes more predictable, shortening cycle times and increasing throughput without compromising quality. Consistent humidity also helps prevent the build-up of static electricity and reduces airborne dust, minimising contamination that can interrupt production or affect surface finish. The result is an efficient and reliable operation with less waste, lower energy consumption and improved process stability. Over time, this creates measurable cost savings, enhanced product consistency and stronger sustainability performance for composite manufacturers.
Use cases
Anti-static and ESD prevention
Low humidity increases static build-up because dry air is an insulator, making electrostatic discharge (ESD) more likely. Maintaining 40–60% relative humidity helps dissipate charges and significantly reduces ESD risk.
Indoor evaporative cooling with humidification
Adiabatic evaporative cooling with additional air humidification lowers the room temperature, saves energy and improves the indoor climate – ideal for industrial, office environments and data centers.
Humidification boosts the immune system
Controlled humidity in buildings protects the self-cleaning function of the mucous membranes, reduces the risk of infection and strengthens the immune system. Dry air promotes respiratory diseases. Additional humidification ensures healthy indoor air and strengthens the immune system.

Technical Coordinator"Humidity is very important for us to ensure standardized conditions throughout the production process."
Markus Preimesberger
Energy management"At the time, our employees complained of dry airways, burning eyes and skin irritation. Measurements showed a relative humidity of less than 30 percent, so we looked for ways to additionally humidify the air."
