ASTM F1306 is the test method for the slow-rate penetration (puncture) resistance of flexible barrier films and laminates. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM F1306 Covers
It measures how much force and energy a flexible film or laminate absorbs before a slow-moving probe punctures it, relevant to packaging durability.
How the Test Is Run
A film specimen is clamped and a probe is driven through it at a slow, controlled rate while force and displacement are recorded, giving puncture force and energy.
Why It Matters
Slow-rate puncture resistance characterizes packaging film toughness; a probe fixture and accurate force-displacement measurement are used.
