Test Fixtures for ASTM D3354 Model: G-ASTM-D3354

Measures the Blocking Force of Plastic Film by the Parallel Plate Method. Blocking is the tendency of thin films to stick to themselves. The test measures the force required to separate two layers of film that have been pressed together. The engineering challenge is the Micro-Force measurement. MTO utilizes a specialized ultra-low-capacity load cell (10N) and a vibration-isolated frame. This is a critical performance metric for the plastic packaging industry to ensure that garbage bags or food wraps can be easily opened by the end-user without tearing the film.
