With new and technological equipped modern kitchens, the use of ovens or OTG and microwaves is now a common practice. People have started using the microwave for not only heating the milk but also for cooking and using the OTG or oven for baking cookies, cakes etc. This equipment has made the life of the millennial generation very easy. The generation where the couples are working and have no time to cook the meals. And so plastic-based utensils are in high rising demand. These utensils which are made of polymer are a special type of plastic that is used and are known as oven safe for microwave-safe utensils. These polymer-based products are very delicate and must be tested using several factors by their manufacturers so that they can ensure a long-lasting tenure and maintain their brand reputation. This can be done if they use a highly efficient melt flow index tester. In this blog, we will learn more about how this machine can help in investigating the quality of oven-safe plastic utensils.
Why the manufacturers of oven-safe plastic must test the MFI?
The melt flow index or MFI is a very important factor that needs to be tested when it is about plastic or any polymer product. The oven-safe products or utensils like a bowl or a plate may be a glass must be investigated for their MFI value. The melting properties of plastic can tell a user or the manufacturer at which level or amount of heat produced the product will meltdown and will lose its structural integrity or one can say the molecule will move or initiate the movement at a particular temperature. When a polymer-based or oven-safe product is kept in the oven or microwave the heat which is in the form of radiation, is exposed to the product at every inch and angle here we must know the melting point for the properties of the product before using it which is at the manufacturing unit or level.
A melt flow index tester is a proficient polymer testing instrument that comes in a digital model and has various features like automated polymer extract cutting and range of weights that can be used for different categories of testing. It is used to help the user to evaluate the MFI value of the polymer which further helps the user to understand the melting properties and chemical structure of the polymer therefore the user can accordingly make changes and ensure that the product doesn't melt before the highest melting point that is designated for oven-safe plastic utensils.
