TEST METHODS FOR HOT SEAL STRENGTH (HOT TACK) OF THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS AND BLENDS COMPRISING THE SEALING SURFACES OF FLEXIBLE WEBS
The adoption of the ASTM Standard as a Malaysian Standard was recommended by the Working Group on Plastics Films and Lamination under the authority of the Plastics and Plastics Products Industry Standards Committee. Development of this standard was carried out by the Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association which is the Standards-Writing Organisation (SWO) appointed by SIRIM Berhad to develop standards for plastics products.
This Malaysian Standard is identical to ASTM F 1921–98 (Reapproved 2004), Standard test methods for hot seal strength (hot tack) of thermoplastic polymers and blends comprising the sealing surfaces of flexible webs, published by the ASTM International, with the exception as listed below.
