RECYCLED PACKAGING

RECYCLED PACKAGING

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and recycled PET (rPET) packaging materials need to go through some tests and analyzes in order to determine parameters such as durability, whether they have been recycled before, and the purity of the packaging material.
PAPER

PAPER

Packaging materials obtained from many raw materials are used in food products. One of the most used materials today is paper, which is especially used for disposable packaging. Paper packages must go through some tests and analyzes to determine their physical durability.
METAL

METAL

Metal packaging is used especially for foods that are used in canned food, which are more affected by environmental factors and can be used for long-term storage. Products such as cheese, olives, corn, and peas are the products in which tin packaging is used the most.
PLASTIC

PLASTIC

Today, plastic is the most used packaging material due to its cheapness and ease of use. It is the type of packaging that we see most often on the market shelves, especially in single-use packaging.
GLASS

GLASS

Many materials, especially paper, metal and plastic, are used as packaging materials. However, especially in recent years, glass packaging is preferred because it is safer in terms of health. It is preferred in terms of security. However, since it comes into contact with food for a long time, it needs to pass some tests and analyzes.

Hot Tack Testing

Hot Tack Testing

Hot Tack Testing

Hot Tack Testing is performed in accordance with ASTM F-1921 standard to evaluate the sealing strength of thermoplastic products. With the hot tack test, the strength of the thermal insulation formed between the thermoplastic surfaces of the flexible webs is measured immediately after sealing and just before cooling at room temperature.

The heat seal feature obtained with the Hot Tack Testing is important for vertical form-fill-seal packages. In heat sealing processes in packages, the content is added immediately after the horizontal closure material is opened, and a high hot bonding force is required to withstand heavy contents. Hot Tack Testing should be done to determine the durability of packaging materials.

With the Hot Tack Testing, you can have information on the following subjects:

Minimum Temperature At A Required Hot Tack Strength – Threshold Sealing Temperature
Sealing Force with Maximum Peak Force
Temperature Range at which Required Hot Tack Strength is Achieved - Hot Tack Range
