Description

The Melt Flow Index (MFI) Test, also called the Melt Flow Rate (MFR) Test, is a standard method used to determine the flow characteristics of molten thermoplastic materials. The test measures the mass of polymer extruded through a standard die in 10 minutes under controlled temperature and load conditions. MFI is widely used in the plastics industry for quality control, material selection, process optimization, and product development, as it provides a quick indication of a polymer's processability and viscosity.
