How Does the MFI Test Affect Polymer Processing?

Melt Flow Index (MFI) or Melt Flow Rate (MFR) is to measure flow ability of polymers with respect to time. MFI is one the most important properties of polymers (thermoplastics) for quality control measurement.

POLYMER TEST MFI AFFECTS THEIR PROCESSING
Polymers melting process is exposed to shearing and elongation flow such as molding processes, thermoforming and extrusion. MFI of a polymer helps in identifying the suitability of a process. As MFI or MFR is related to the

• Die swell
• Elongation and shear viscosity

The predetermination of MFI can lead to the promotion of efficient and effective processes for polymers which is a very beneficial factor for the plastic industry. By analyzing MFI of any polymer we can easily determine the polymer flow behavior, quality control measurement, process selection, appropriate granule grade preference and the temperature of viscosity initiates.

If the molecular weight of polymer is high then there will be low MFI which shows enhanced version of the following properties:

• Process ability
• Melt strength
• Durability
• Mechanical strength
• Deformation resistant
• Environmental resistant
• Thermal stability
• Shrinkage reduction during process

Thus we can observe how polymer test MFI can influence process ability. To evaluate the above mentioned characteristics of any polymer Melt flow Index testing is always prioritized by the technical expertise in polymer business.

Pacorr understands manufacturers' needs so we have specifically designed a Melt Flow Index Tester to fulfill your criteria. As we know how important it is to balance temperature and MFI to achieve gloss and smooth surface of product while extrusion. So the precise value of MFI will lead to selecting the right process and granule grade for manufacturing any plastic product.

Pacorr Melt Flow Index consists of a microprocessor based digital temperature controller and indicator on the digitized panel. It is equipped with a digital preset timer to measure the accurate data. It is facilitated with automated sample cutting. Our MFI is table top model which is equipped with advanced accessories like orifice cleaner, orifice, barrel cleaner, piston etc. The whole body of MFI is powder coated which is corrosion resilient.

If you really want a flawless molding and enhance the quality assurance in the polymer industry, then Pacorr Melt Flow Index is just a perfect choice for you. To know about its technical specification call us +91 8882149230 and mail us info@pacorr.com.
