Melt Flow Index Tester
for Plastic Testing
Precision, Reliability, and Performance for Pan India Customers
The plastic industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors worldwide, and India is no exception. With applications spanning from packaging to automotive components and consumer products, the need for high-quality plastic materials has never been greater. A crucial parameter in evaluating plastic quality is its flow behavior, and this is precisely where the Melt Flow Index Tester (MFI Tester) plays a vital role.
Melt Flow Index Tester
What is Melt Flow Index?
The Melt Flow Index (MFI), also referred to as Melt Flow Rate (MFR), is a measure of the ease of flow of the melt of a thermoplastic polymer. It is defined as the amount of polymer that flows through a capillary of a specific diameter and length under a certain load and temperature within ten minutes. The result is expressed in grams per 10 minutes (g/10 min).
A higher MFI indicates lower viscosity and easier flow, while a lower MFI signifies higher viscosity and more resistance to flow. Understanding this property is essential for processing and performance characteristics of plastic products.
