Tensile test paper, sealing strength of paper samples

Paper DIN EN ISO 1924-2 determination of tensile strength, stretch at break,TEA (accredited test method) DIN EN 868-4 Annexe C, measuring the seal strength of machine-made bags or sealed samples made of paper

In short — AI-generated

This test determines the mechanical stability of paper and paper-based seals by applying a constant tensile force until the material or the seal breaks. The procedure measures key properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and seal integrity according to standardized speeds and conditions.

The resulting values indicate the material's resistance to mechanical stress and the reliability of the packaging seal during transport and storage. This data is essential for ensuring that paper-based packaging, particularly for medical devices, maintains its protective function and integrity throughout the supply chain.
