This essential tool helps ensure that raw materials meet your processing and product standards, leading to fewer defects, better performance, and improved efficiency on the production floor.
What is a Melt Flow Index Tester?
A Melt Flow Index Tester (MFI Tester) measures the melt flow rate (MFR) of plastic resins. The test involves heating a sample to a defined temperature and applying a standard weight, forcing it through a small die. The amount of material that flows through in 10 minutes is measured in grams per 10 minutes (g/10 min).
This value indicates key material properties like:
- Viscosity
- Molecular weight
- Processability
These factors determine how a plastic will behave in processes such as injection molding, extrusion, or film blowing.
Why is MFI Testing Important?
Consistency is critical in high-volume manufacturing. With MFI testing, manufacturers can:
- ✅ Detect material variations early
- ✅ Ensure batch-to-batch uniformity
- ✅ Compare grades from different suppliers
- ✅ Comply with standards like ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133
- ✅ Improve product quality and reduce production downtime
