Puncture Propogation Tear Tester

For measuring the resistance of sheet materials to being punctured and the propagation of that puncture.

The Puncture Propogation Tear Tester measures the resistance of sheet materials to being punctured and the propagation of that puncture. The Puncture Propogation Tear Tester allows manfacturers and users to determine the potential weakness and resistance to snag or puncture.

Applications
Paper, Foil, Film, Coated and Uncoated Textiles, Non-wovens, Flexible Packaging, Screening
