Puncture resistance is important in the performance of stretch wrap film used in consumer and industrial product applications. ASTM D5748 determines the energy-absorbing ability of a stretch wrap film in resisting a protrusion under biaxial stress. This test determines the maximum force, the energy needed to break the stretch wrap film, the penetration distance and the force when the film breaks.
By means of our film testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the testing solution that is right for you. Give one of our application engineers a call today for help with creating the best budget and testing plan according to ASTM D5748.
