Gelbo Flex Testing evaluates the durability and flexibility of films and flexible packaging materials by simulating repetitive twisting and compression, ensuring product integrity under real-world conditions.
Gelbo Flex Testing is essential for determining the durability, flexibility, and resilience of films and flexible packaging materials. This test is particularly crucial for products like plastic films, food packaging, and medical devices where frequent handling and mechanical stress occur. By simulating repeated twisting and compression cycles, Gelbo Flex Testing assesses how well the material withstands physical stress without breaking or compromising its integrity.
In the packaging and materials industry, the ability of a film or flexible material to endure continuous bending, folding, or twisting without showing visible damage or pinholes is critical. Gelbo Flex Testing replicates these real-world mechanical stresses and evaluates how these materials react to such wear and tear over time. The results ensure product reliability and prevent potential failures during manufacturing, distribution, or customer use.
The Gelbo Flex Test involves placing the film or flexible packaging material into a test chamber where it undergoes a series of twisting and compressing motions. The test equipment applies both rotational and compression forces to the material, imitating real-life conditions. The number of cycles is predetermined, with each cycle causing stress to the material, allowing testers to determine its endurance under repeated strain.
Gelbo Flex Testing is widely used in industries that rely on flexible materials and films, including:
