Perform pull-out test on BOPP packaging films with Presto tensile tester

Gaurav Malhotra

BOPP packaging films are made of biaxially oriented polypropylene and they are tough and have high resistance against moisture. These packaging films are widely used in different applications including food packaging, labels, and tape. Thus, by testing the tensile strength of these packaging films is an important part of quality control. Presto is a leading tensile testing manufacturer and designs this quality testing equipment at the best and most affordable prices.

This high-quality lab testing equipment comes with a constant rate of traverse principle that makes it easy for the manufacturers to conduct quality tests on the materials. This high-quality testing equipment has been designed with an upper and lower jaw that will help to evaluate the tensile strength of materials with ease. In this blog, we will discuss brief information about the Presto tensile testing instrument and how this quality testing equipment is useful in testing the tensile strength of materials.

What is tension testing and why you should perform it on BOPP packaging films?

Tension testing is a crucial quality control method employed in the packaging industry, specifically for assessing the mechanical properties of BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) films. It involves subjecting these films to controlled stress conditions to determine their strength, durability, and overall performance characteristics.

By conducting tension tests on BOPP packaging films, manufacturers can effectively measure the film's tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus of elasticity, and other key parameters that directly influence its suitability for various applications.

With Presto tensile strength tester, manufacturers can easily measure the tensile strength of materials and ensure that accurate products will be delivered to the customers.

This testing instrument has been designed as per industry standards including ASTM D429-73, ASTM D624, ATM D638-01, ASTM D76, IS 13360-5-7 and IS 3400. This will ensure accuracy in test results.

You can easily conduct quality tests on materials with the help of a Presto tensile testing machine. You can easily read more about the top 3 secrets of successfully using tensile testing machines.

Now, let us discuss a brief about the Presto tensile strength testing instrument and its high-end features and technical specifications.

All about Presto tensile tester digital model

The tensile testing or tension testing of the materials is considered to be one of the most fundamental quality tests that help to determine the material’s strength and elongation. When a tensile force is applied to a material, it will ultimately break, which allows the manufacturers to get a precise and exact study of its quality. As a result, most manufacturers employ this tensile testing machine in QC laboratories and mainstream production chains to analyze materials' quality.

The primary goal of this high-quality lab testing instrument is to examine material tensile characteristics. As a result, you'll be able to conduct a material quality analysis and determine whether or not your product is safe to use. You'll be able to test the tensile strength of materials at various capacities with its large testing range and improved peak load indication for precise reading. Most manufacturers consider using this lab testing equipment because of its wide range of uses. Whenever you conduct the tensile test using a Presto tensile tester, you need to take care of some precautions to obtain the best quality results.

Now, let us discuss a brief information about the features and technical specifications of this quality testing equipment.
