Tests of Plastics

The test stand makes it possible to perform the tests of plastics in order to determine
precise physical parameters of raw materials (granulates, powders, foams, fibres) and
specify physical characteristics of the products made from these raw materials.

The test stand includes:

  1. 1
    The device for determining Melt Flow Index MFI (Melt Mass-Flow Rate (MFR),
    Melt Volume-Flow Rate (MVR)) of thermoplastic materials

    Equipment and parameters:
    • working range: 100-300 °C
    • test loads: 0.325 kg, 1.2 kg, 2.16 kg, 3.8 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 21.6 kg

    Application:
    • determining Melt Mass-Flow Rate (MFR) and Melt Volume-Flow Rate (MVR) of thermoplastic
    materials

  2. 2
    device for sieve analysis of powder designed for rotational moulded items according to ISO ASTM D1921

    Equipment and parameters:
    • possibility of measuring powder grains from 0.0020 mm to 1 mm
    • minimum 7 sieves can mounted simultaneously
    • amplitude adjustment within the range of 1-10 mm
    • time adjustment: 0-60 min

    Application:
    • sieve analysis of powder designed for rotational moulded items

  3. 3
    Hardness test stand for PU foams

    Equipment and parameters:
    • SHORE analogue hardness tester, scale A, possibility of measurement from 0 to 100 in Shore A scale; the set includes Shore blocks of the following hardness: 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
    • HBA 100-0 analogue hardness tester
    • standard hardness blocks A HBA – 01
    • TI – AC stand

    Application:
    • PU foams hardness measurements
