Used in major coatings laboratories worldwide, the Rhopoint MFFTB is the industry standard instrument for characterising the curing performance of water based films in different application conditions.

The Rhopoint MFFT is the industry leading instrument for measuring the minimum film forming temperature of water based materials. Definition - "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 Rhopoint MFFT works by holding a very accurate temperature gradient across a nickel plated copper platen. A flow of dried air across the platen stops condensation forming and gives repeatable test conditions.
