Melt Flow Index
Melt Flow Index A relatively simple method to provide a general and relative characterization of how a given polymer will flow when melted is a test called the melt flow index (MFI), which is also sometimes called the melt flow rate (MFR) In this test, a small sample of plastic is heated and forced through an orifice by a weighted piston. The results are recorded as the weight of material …
