ASTM D5748 is the test method for the protrusion puncture resistance of stretch wrap film. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D5748 Covers
It measures how well stretch film resists puncture by a protruding object, relevant to unit-load stability and load containment.
How the Test Is Run
A clamped film is punctured by a probe driven at a controlled rate, and the force and energy to puncture are recorded.
Why It Matters
Puncture resistance governs stretch-film performance in palletizing; a probe fixture and accurate force-displacement measurement are used.
