JIS K 7128-2 — Elmendorf Tear Resistance of Plastic Film & Sheeting

← Back to all standards

JIS K 7128-2 is the Japanese Industrial Standard for the tear resistance of thin plastic film and sheeting. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What JIS K 7128-2 Covers

It measures the force to propagate a tear through plastic film, using the Elmendorf and related approaches for films.

How the Test Is Run

A film specimen is torn by the specified method, and the tear resistance is recorded.

Why It Matters

Tear resistance governs film toughness; a suitable tear apparatus and controlled conditioning are used.
