Melt Flow Index Tester – Precision Testing for Thermoplastics

Comments · 54 Views

At Pacorr, we understand that quality control in plastic manufacturing starts with accurate material testing. The Melt Flow Index Tester (MFI Tester) is a vital tool that helps you evaluate the flow characteristics of thermoplastic polymers under controlled heat and pressure—ensuring you

What Does a Melt Flow Index Tester Do?

The MFI Tester measures the rate at which a molten plastic flows through a die under specific conditions. The result, given in grams per 10 minutes, reflects the material’s viscosity and molecular weight—key factors that impact moldability and end-product strength.

This test is simple, fast, and essential for anyone working with:

  • Injection molding
  • Blow molding
  • Extrusion
  • Film or sheet production

Why is Melt Flow Index Important?

✔️ Consistent Product Quality – Catch material changes before they cause defects
✔️ Efficient Processing – Optimize machine settings for better performance
✔️ Material Selection – Compare grades from different suppliers
✔️ Standard Compliance – Meets ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133
