MFFT Tester

The minimum film-forming temperature tester measures the lowest temperature at which emulsions or coatings form a continuous film using a gradient heating plate. The principle is based on the transition of the material from a powdery state to a continuous film at a specific temperature. It is used to determine the application and storage conditions for products such as latex paints and adhesives.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the temperature range covers the characteristics of the material being tested, the gradient plate accuracy meets the testing requirements, and the operation interface is simple and user-friendly. Ensure the instrument complies with industry standards, fits the laboratory space, and the maintenance cost aligns with the budget.
