What NF T54-141 Covers

It measures the force to tear plastic film, aligned with the standard film tear approaches.

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.
