The melt flow rate (MFR) of a polymer is an important property to consider when selecting materials for any application. Polymer properties, such as MFR, are used to measure how well a material can be formed and molded into a desired shape or product. Testing the melt flow properties of polymers provides information about the viscosity, or fluidity, of a particular polymer material and can help determine if it is suitable for the application it will be used for. Thus, to make it easy for the polymer testing industries to test the melt flow properties of materials, we at Presto have launched a high-quality lab testing instrument known as melt flow index tester NEO 2.0.
This is one of the high-quality lab testing instruments that is used to test the melt flow properties of the materials and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers. This high-quality testing equipment has been designed in accordance with industry standards to ensure users will get highly accurate lab testing results every time they conduct lab tests with the help of this quality lab testing equipment. In this blog, we are going to focus on how Presto MFI tester NEO 2.0 is used to test the melt flow properties of polymers. We will also discuss how the melt flow properties of polymers will have an impact on their quality. So, let us get started!
Test the melt flow properties of polymers with the new MFI NEO 2.0
Polymers are long chains of molecules that have the ability to flow when heated. The melt flow properties of a polymer determine how easily the material flows and can be processed. Melt flow testing is used to measure these properties and is an important quality control tool for industries that use polymers.
Presto has recently launched one of the high-quality lab testing instruments known as melt flow index tester NEO 2.0 which is considered to be consistent lab testing equipment used to test the melt flow properties of polymers with its high-end features.
This HMI-based touch-screen model has been equipped with high-end features that make it easy for manufacturers to conduct melt flow tests on the materials. It comes with HMI based touchscreen display of 7” and will perform melt flow tests on the materials with the accuracy of ± 1ºC. You can read more on the importance of melt flow index testers in the polymer industry.
Now, let us discuss more the features and technical specifications of this quality lab testing equipment.

Now, let us discuss the importance of testing the melt flow properties of polymers.
Importance of testing melt flow properties of polymers
The melt flow properties of polymers are important to consider when selecting a polymer for a particular application. Different polymers have different melt flow properties, which can affect the quality of the final product. For example, a polymer with a high melt flow rate will be more likely to produce a product with a smooth surface finish, while a polymer with a low melt flow rate will be more likely to produce a product with a rough surface finish. Additionally, the melt flow properties of a polymer can affect its processing characteristics. Thus, with the use of Presto Melt Flow Index Tester NEO 2.0 one can easily examine the flow properties of melted polymers.
