Understanding Melt Flow Rate & Index: A Guide to Optimizing Polymer Performance
Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and Melt Flow Index (MFI) measure how easily plastics flow during manufacturing. They guide material selection, quality control, and process optimization for injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. This guide explains MFR/MFI, testing methods, and practical tips to enhance polymer performance. 1. What is Melt Flow Rate (MFR) / Melt Flow […]
FRP vs Fiberglass: Are They the Same?
Fiberglass is a type of FRP (fiber-reinforced polymer) using glass fibers, offering affordability and versatility for general applications like construction and marine projects. FRP encompasses a broader range of fibers (e.g., carbon, aramid) for specialized, high-performance needs. Choose based on budget, strength, and environmental conditions. Confused about whether FRP or fiberglass is the right material […]
