Tests on "Mechanical/technological properties"

Mechanical and technological properties largely determine the performance of food packaging in everyday use. If you work with food packaging in your company and want to optimise it, you can fall back on the technological test methods of the Innoform Test Service. We offer you a practical catalogue of technological and mechanical test methods which you can use to optimise your food packaging. Find out more about our mechanical and technological test procedures below - whether accredited tests or special procedures.

These technological/mechanical test methods we offer

To determine the mechanical and technological properties of your product, we use various test procedures. You can then use the findings from these tests to improve the properties of your product or to create and validate specifications. We offer the following mechanical and technological test methods for you, among others:

• Tensile test (e.g. tensile strength, elongation at break, secant modulus)
  [*}Coefficient of friction COF
• bond adhesion
• Sealing tests (determination of sealing properties0
  )
• Thickness measurement of films
• Tear propagation tests (quasi-static and dynamic (Elmendorf))
• Tesa test (abrasion resistance)
• Crease test (Gelboflex test)
• Dart Drop Test (impact resistance test)
• Block test

The practical characterisation of the mechanical and technological properties of packaging materials using standardised accredited laboratory test methods requires a high level of experience and modern equipment. The results are used to draw up and monitor technical specifications, to evaluate test series or sample productions and to deal with cases of damage. With us, your testing assignments are in proven hands. Your questions become our testing tasks.
