ISO 8067 — Tear Strength of Flexible Cellular Polymeric Materials

← Back to all standards

ISO 8067 is the test method for the tear strength of flexible cellular polymeric materials (flexible foams). To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 8067 Covers

It measures the force to tear flexible foam, characterizing the resistance of cushioning and seating foams to tearing.

How the Test Is Run

A foam tear specimen is pulled at a controlled rate until it tears, and the tear strength is calculated from the force and thickness.

Why It Matters

Tear strength governs flexible foam durability; grips and a sensitive tensile frame suited to soft material are used.
