III. Technical Specifications

IV. ASTM F2029 Standard

ASTM F2029 is the Standard Test Method for Making Heat Seals for Determination of Heatsealability of Flexible Webs as Measured by Seal Strength. This standard outlines the procedures for making and evaluating heat seals, ensuring consistency and reliability in testing.

Test Methods

1. Preparation of Test Specimens:

   • Cut samples: Prepare samples of the material to specified dimensions, ensuring uniformity.
   • Ensure cleanliness: Make sure the samples are free from defects and contaminants that could affect the seal quality.

2. Setting Test Parameters:

   • Select parameters: Choose appropriate temperature, pressure, and dwell time settings based on the material.
   • Record settings: Document the selected parameters for consistency and reproducibility.

3. Conducting the Test:

   • Position sample: Place the sample between the heated sealing bars.
   • Apply settings: Apply the pre-set pressure and hold for the designated dwell time.
   • Cool sample: Remove the sample and allow it to cool before further analysis.

4. Measuring Seal Strength:

   • Tensile testing: Use a tensile testing machine to pull the sealed sample apart.
   • Record force: Measure and record the force required to break the seal, providing a quantitative measure of seal strength.
