What is ISO 527-3 and why is it important?

ISO 527-3 is an international standard that specifies the methods for performing tensile tests on thin plastic films. This standard focuses on determining the mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation at break and modulus of elasticity, of foil materials, which are widely used in packaging, medical applications and other industrially relevant products. ISO 527-3 is essential for ensuring the quality and reliability of thin plastics.

Why choose ISO 527-3?

By opting for ISO 527-3 testing, you benefit from:

  • Standardised procedures: ensure consistent and reliable results that comply with international standards.
  • Insight into foil properties: Get critical data about the performance of your thin foil materials.
  • Product development optimization: Use test results to improve designs and product quality.

How does ISO 527-3 work?

The testing process includes several steps:

  1. Sample preparation: thin foils are cut and prepared according to ISO 527-3 specifications, with the correct thickness and dimensions.
  2. Tensile test: the foil is placed in a tensile machine, where a controlled and increasing tensile force is applied until the material breaks.
  3. Data collection and analysis: key parameters such as tensile strength, elongation at break and elastic modulus are measured and analyzed to provide insight into the performance of the foil material.

Applications of ISO 527-3 in industry

At Deon Research Centre, we are involved in the application of ISO 527-3 in various sectors:

  • Packaging industry: assessment of the performance of foil boxes, packaging and protective materials.
  • Medical applications: testing foils used in medical and pharmaceutical packaging.
  • Bags and sacks: quality control on plastic bags and bags that are used every day.

What does this mean for your company?

By investing in ISO 527-3 compliance, you will achieve:

  • Increased product reliability and performance of your foil materials.
  • Compliance with industry standards that are essential for obtaining certifications and market entry.
  • Insights for sustainable development by improving the properties of foils for more effective use.
