Ensuring Pharmaceutical Film Strength To Avoid Damaged Product

This method can be used to identify potential points of weakness in a film or seal during the manufacturing process by simulating circumstances whereby the material may burst during packaging and transport.The strength of a film material can be quantified using the CT3 Texture Analyzer by a penetration test using a 3 mm cylinder probe to determine the strength (rupture point) of the film material. A force is applied to the sample to deform the sample to rupture point.
