Polymers are composed of long chains of molecules that are bonded together. The melt flow rate (MFR) of a polymer is a measure of the ease with which the polymer can flow. It is an important property to consider when designing products made from polymers, as it can affect the processing and performance of the final product. Presto has introduced high-quality melt flow index tester NEO 2.0 that helps to test the melt flow properties of materials with ease. This high-quality lab testing instrument has been designed with HMI based touch screen display of 7’’ and provides highly accurate testing results of the melt flow of polymers. This latest technology lab testing instrument will help the users to conduct melt flow testing results with max./min./ avg. value of melt flow rate. Here in this blog, we will discuss brief information about melt flow index tester neo 2.0 and the top features of this quality lab testing instrument. But before that, let us discuss what is MFR or melt flow rate of plastics is.
What is Melt Flow Rate (MFR)?
Melt flow rate (MFR) is a measure of the ease with which a material can be processed. The lower the melt flow rate, the easier the material is to process. The MFR is measured by extruding a molten sample of the material through a die of known diameter and measuring the resulting filament's weight over time.
The MFR or melt flow rate is considered to be an essential property of plastics that will help the manufacturers to ensure that the plastics can easily be molded in a particular shape and size. Moreover, plastics will offer better molecular structure and strength when formed. You can read more about the requirement of testing the melt flow index of plastics with a melt flow index tester.
Now, let us discuss how Presto MFI tester NEO 2.0 helps in testing the melt flow index of plastics.
All about Presto MFI TESTER NEO 2.0
The melt flow rate of a polymer is a measure of the ease with which the material can be melted and processed. It is an important factor in the production of plastics, as it determines the speed and efficiency of the manufacturing process. The melt flow rate also affects the end product, as it influences the physical properties of the finished plastic.
A high melt flow rate indicates that the polymer is easier to melt and process, and results in plastic with better physical properties. A low melt flow rate indicates that the polymer is more difficult to melt and process, and results in plastic with poorer physical properties. Presto has recently launched the MFI testing instrument NEO 2.0 which is highly useful in testing the melt flow properties of the materials and ensuring that quality products will be delivered.
This advanced lab testing equipment will help to extrude the molten resins through a jet of a specific length and diameter under prescribed conditions of temperature, load, and piston position. Besides this, its powder-coated Havel gray finish and bright chrome zinc plating will make it easy for the manufacturers to conduct a melt flow test on the materials. You can read more about the features and technical specifications of this lab testing equipment.
