Life Testing
Specimens are exposed to elevated
environmental conditions which simulate
the effects of real time aging over shorter
time frames. Care must be taken to select
conditions that are suitable for the product.

Test specimens are exposed to known
temperature and humidity, (various set points
may be selected to simulate conditions
that the product may be subjected to in
normal circumstances), so that environmental
conditions can be taken into consideration
for further tests, i.e. Transportation Testing.

Seal Strength Test
This test is performed to establish seal
strengths on packaging materials such as
blisters, pouches and header bags. Tests can
be either supported (180°) or unsupported
(90°) depending on customer requirements.
ASTM F88
Burst Testing
This test determines seal strength by means of
internal pressurization

Dye Penetration
Testing
Seal integrity of seals formed between film
and porous / non porous material.

Slip Testing /
Coefficient of
Friction
This test is used to determine the starting and
sliding friction of plastic film, sliding over itself
or other substances.
ASTM D1894
Tensile Testing
This test is used to determine the mechanical
properties of a test substrate such as tensile
strength and elongation.
ASTM D882
Breaking Force
and Elongation of
Textile Fabrics
Determines the resilience of the material,
applies a force until the sample breaks, (i.e.
Tyvek).
ASTM D5035
Gelbo Flex Testing
This test is used to determine flexural
resistance of a material by applying repetitive
strain through a combination of twisting and
compression motion. Measures resistance to
pin holing.
ASTM F392
Bendsten Porosity
Testing
The test determines the air permeance of a
porous substrate by measuring resistance to
airflow through a material.
ISO 5636-3
Puncture Test
Driven probe, force to penetrate, puncture.
ASTM F1306
Dart Drop Impact
Impact Resistance of plastic film by FreeFalling Dart Method, determines the energy
needed to cause plastic film to fail under the
impact of a free-falling dart.
ASTM D1709
