    Tear Strength

    Uploaded by

    Yustinus Ericko
    The document compares the stretch and tear properties of various plastic materials. It finds that cellophane is easy to tear but hard to stretch, while polyester and polypropylene are hard to stretch but propagate tears well once started. Polyethylene does not propagate tears easily. Tear strength can be improved by adding paper or aluminum foil layers. The document then rates various multilayer plastic packaging materials on their ability to initiate and propagate tears both with and without a precut.

    Material Stretch Test Tear Test

    Cellophane Hard to stretch Easy to tear


    Cellulose triacetate Easier than polyester to stretch Fairly easy to tear, "smokey" edge to tear

    Polyester (oriented) Hard to stretch Hardest to initiate tear, easy to propagate a


    tear, tears with rough edge

    Polypropylene(oriented, balanced Easier than polyester and balanced Hard to initiate tear, easy to propagate tear,
    biaxally) elongation tears with clean edge like cellophane
    Polyethylene Easier to stretch Hard to tear, tears in most directions almost
    always
    Polyvinylchloride Easier than polyester Moderately easy to tear (both initiate and
    propagate); ragged tear

    Polystyrene Hard to stretch Easy to tear (both initiate and propagate);


    clean tear but not straight

    Polyester and polypropylene tend to propagate tears; that is once a small cut or puncture has been made in the film, a tear
    readily propagates from this point.
    Polyethylenes, do not propagate a tear
    Tear properties can be enhanced by paper or alumunium foil layers

    * Tear initiation : start of a tear


    * Tear propagation : spread of a tear
