The polymer industry has been booming by bringing variations into its production standards. There have been different modes of polymer batch production which is resistant to heat, humidity, temperature changes etc. To bring a such level of variation in the polymer material, they may undergo many kinds of mechanical changes and hence may lose some of their resistance strength against melting. This blog brings insight to the readers on how to melt flow index tester can help in the evaluation and strict quality control of heat-resistant plastics.
Role of Melt Flow Index Value in the making heat-resistant polymer
The polymers that are made to resist heat and high temperature to an extent are usually used to manufacture plastic utensils that may carry hot meals or are utilized as non-stick cookware and may be used in microwaves or ovens for heating and baking purpose. Hence, it is important that the products must be resistant to a defined amount as per their end users and industry standards. Now how can anyone understand and match the standards? The answer to this is very simple and universal - International Test Standards governing the Melt Flow Index Testing like ASTM D 1238 and ISO 1133. These standards are nothing but a set of rules and regulations that help to define a quality control test for polymers all over the world. Melt flow index testing on the other hand can help evaluate the MFI, MVR, and MFR values that further guide knowing the nature of the polymer when it reacts to heat and help in manufacturing a higher and better heat-resistant quality product.
Melt Flow Index Tester and its variety of features
Pacorr brings to you an innovation in the polymer industry with its high-end Melt Flow Index testing machine. The equipment comes with innovative and standardised design features that allow more precise and accurate test results. It has a heating barrel that allows the heating of polymer granule samples to be tested. When heated to a temperature where it melts down and starts flowing, the melt-flown polymer is released through the opening and after a designed amount of polymer is cut, it's weighed and the MFI is calculated. The machine design conforms to the international test standards that ensure acceptance of its results across the globe.
Thanks to Pacorr Testing instruments, we have all the required quality testing instruments that have helped us to ensure the best quality delivered to our clients.
