What is Melt Flow Index (MFI)?
Melt Flow Index (MFI) is a critical parameter used to determine the ease of flow of molten thermoplastic polymers. It measures the amount of polymer that flows through a capillary under a specific temperature and load in 10 minutes. Higher MFI values indicate lower viscosity, meaning the plastic flows more easily.
Importance of MFI in Plastic Manufacturing:
MFI plays a vital role in selecting the right material for injection molding, extrusion, and other processes. It helps manufacturers ensure consistency, predict processing behavior, and maintain product quality. Regular MFI testing allows for better control over the production process, reduces material waste, and ensures the final product meets industry standards.
