What is Plastic Film Testing
Plastic films have become an everyday occurrence. We use them to package food, transport goods home from the store, and cover greenhouse and field produce. In the medical engineering sector, film packaging is prevalent and frequently saves lives. In addition, a wide range of films are employed in building. Moisture barriers keep our roofs from leaking and water from causing harm to our homes' walls. Sports venues are covered with sophisticated plastic sheets, which gives architects additional options.
Films are high-tech goods with a wide range of features today. Cost-effective polymers such as high- and low-density PE, PP, PVC, and PS are used in mass production. High-quality polymers, such as different polyesters, are used when particular properties such as hardness, permeability, or light resistance are required.
This test is very similar to the ASTM D638 test, which measures elongation, tensile modulus, tensile yield strength, and tensile strength at break by pulling plastic material until it breaks.Plastic films are used for a wide range of purposes. Packaging, plastic bags, labels, building construction, landscaping, electrical fabrication, photographic film, film stock for movies, video tape, and other items fall under this category.
Plastic film is a light material. It is simple to print data on it. The films are also superior in terms of barrier qualities and may be recycled as well as reused.
