DIN 55543-4
Packaging test - Test methods for packaging films - Part 4: Determination of the shrinkage of plastic films in a liquid bath

Title (German)

Verpackungsprüfung - Prüfverfahren für Verpackungsfolien - Teil 4: Bestimmung der Schrumpfung von Kunststoff-Folien im Flüssigkeitsbad

Overview

DIN 55543-4 specifies a method for determining the shrinkage of plastic films in a liquid bath. Material orientation occurs during the production of packaging films. These affect the quality of the film and the weld seams. These material orientations lead to shrinkage when subsequently exposed to heat above the crystallite melting temperature. The degree of material orientation is determined by measuring the shrinkage. This document has been prepared by Working Committee NA 115-02-01 AA "Flexible Packmittel - Laminate, Folien, Säcke, Beutel, Tragetaschen" ("Flexible packaging - plastic and laminated foils, bags, pouches, carrier bags") at DIN Standards Committee Packaging (NAVp).
