Minimum film formation temperature (MFFT)

MFFT is the lowest temperature at which a latex, emulsion or adhesive will uniformly coalesce when laid on a substrate as a thin film. An accurate MFFT value allows the formulation of products that cure correctly under specified application conditions.The measurement gives information about the minimum film formation temperature of latexes and polymer dispersions with a standardized method. The temperature range of the machine is from –10 °C to 60 °C.
