What the materials cover

These materials come from the workshop “Mechanical Film Testing – Theory and Practice” held in Oldenburg. They explain the fundamentals of mechanical tests on films and film packaging according to standards, with a focus on tensile and compression testing. Topics include sliding behaviour and COF measurement (DIN EN ISO 8295), composite adhesion, tensile testing (DIN EN ISO 527 and ASTM D 882) and sealing behaviour, sealing curves and seal seam testing (DIN 55529). Statistical evaluation and working with standards are covered as well. It addresses professionals in production, development, packaging technology, quality control, purchasing and sales.
