Vicosity of injection molded plastic resins 1

[TZellers]

Anybody know where to find viscosities of injection molded plastics, such as polypropylene, pvc, etc? Or how the ASTM D1238 melt flow rate standard is related to stnadard viscosity units (SSU, cP, etc).

There was quite a bit of discussion on Melt flow index following a very useful post in this forum by Richgeofroy...a seach under Polymer Mlet Index should find it.
