MFFT-Minimum Film Forming Temperature Bar

Temperature gradient plate for determining minimum film forming temperature test

The TQC MFFT device is a widely used industry-standard instrument for determining the minimum film forming temperature (MFFT) of water-based materials.

By definition, the Minimum Film Forming Temperature (MFFT) is the lowest temperature at which latex emulsions or adhesives form a uniform continuous film when spread as a thin layer.

Accurately determining the MFFT value enables the formulation of products that will properly cure under specified application conditions.

The TQC MFFT operates with a hard chrome-plated copper plate designed to create a very precise temperature gradient. Continuously flowing dry air over the surface prevents condensation, allowing for reproducible test conditions.

Down to -30°C

With the TQC MFFT Test Device, it is possible to test polymers with minimum film forming temperatures below 0°C. The MFFT20 model can measure down to -30°C.

Repeatable Results

With precise sensors and an integrated dry air flow system that prevents condensation and icing, it provides the best repeatable and reproducible results.

In Accordance to the Norms

TQC MFFT complies with the following standards: TS EN ISO 2115, DIN 53366, ASTM D2354, ASTM D1465, ISO/DIS 4622.
