Plastic Film Testing

Plastic films are used in a wide variety of applications and used to package food, carry our groceries home from the store, and to cover vegetables plants outside. Film packaging is also common in the medical industry.

STEMart provide various test methods used for tests on plastic film to evaluate the material's mechanical and fracture mechanics properties.
