Melt flow indexing is evolving to become an even more imperative aspect of the digitized materials testing environment.

As a cornerstone of quality control for polymers and plastics, melt flow indexers (MFIs) play a key role in understanding the processing behavior of these types of materials. Traditional melt flow ...

Melt flow index testers, or extrusion plastometers, characterize the flow properties of a plastic melted mass. A method that is particularly useful in quality control and goods inwards testing, melt ...

Tinius Olsen is offering a new advanced melt indexer, as well as new software for data acquisition and closed-loop control of universal testing machines that have a compatible servo system or ...
