Setting the seal of quality on retort film
A famous food manufacturer uses a Mecmesin peel testing system to reduce wastage from seal adhesive defects and provide their customers with a safe, wellsealed, edible product at minimum cost. A 90 degree peel test is carried out using
a MultiTest 1-i test system with an Assisted Peel Table. This determines:
– tensile strength of pre-cut retort foils
– peel performance of finished packaging
– compliance of tensile/ peel performance with in-house specifications
Using their Mecmesin peel test solution, they are able to observe materials performance, store multiple tests, and overlay results for comparison. Peak force is identified with a detailed graphical display of each test, enabling identification of defects and locations of adhesive failure.
