Labthink measures the puncture resistance of plastic films, foils, laminates, rubber stopper, medical device, gloves, construction membranes, geotextiles and plastic caps using relevant ASTM methods.
Puncture resistance denotes the relative ability of a material to inhibit the progression of a tear once it has been pierced by a cut or a nick. Tests devised to measure puncture resistance are generally application-specific, covering items such as roofing and packaging materials, protective gloves, needle disposal facilities, bulletproof vests, tires, etc.
