The standard version of the Mflow extrusion plastometers can be used to establish the melt mass flow rate (MFR). The plastometer comprises modular design; using the piston transducer expands the Mflow ...

Plastic Flow LLC has released a new software package to simulate polymer extrusion, called polyXtrue. The software is useful for extrusion die designers, with a module for design of coextrusion and ...

The company says its melt flow modifiers optimize PP processing efficiency, product quality and sustainability for the ...

The compact Cflow extrusion plastometers are built as a stand-alone instrument for fast monitoring of melt mass flow rate (MFR). They are mainly used for goods inwards checks at plastics processing ...

The concept of rheology refers to a branch of physics that studies fluids. It examines how materials behave when they flow or deform!

Editor?s note: The author, Donald E. De Laney, a consultant in polymer process rheology, worked with GE for 17 years and has worked with Dynisco over the past eight years. The plastics compounding and ...
