The Vibration-Flex Test Method to Determine the Susceptibility of Plastic Films to Pinhole Formation Due to Flexing

CODEN: JTEVAB

Abstract

A test method that uses a vibration table and helical compression springs has been developed to deterinine the susceptibility of plastic films to pinhole formation under conditions of repeated flexing. The setup, results, and limitations of the vibrationflex test are discussed.
