Tensile Testing for PET Films

From Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc.
 

 

PET films are macromolecular films made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin. Because this material offers excellent strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability, it is used for industrial purposes and for packaging. It is also widely used for electronics, including magnetic tapes and film capacitors. In recent years, its use has been highlighted in functional films (protective films, anti-reflection films, and electromagnetic preventative films) for LCDs and plasma displays.

In this case, tensile tests were performed of PET films with different thicknesses.
