Norma ASTM D1709

Norma ASTM D1709 is one of the most widely used standards for evaluating the impact resistance of plastic films and flexible packaging materials.

A falling dart impact tester is commonly used in the production and quality control of polyethylene films, multilayer barrier films, stretch films, shrink films, agricultural films, medical packaging films, pharmaceutical packaging materials, and various flexible packaging structures. The test helps manufacturers assess toughness, puncture resistance, and impact durability during transportation, handling, and end-use conditions.

Cell Instruments provides falling dart impact testing solutions designed for plastic film and flexible packaging applications. In addition to standard instruments, customized testing solutions, special fixtures, and laboratory integration options are available to meet specific testing requirements.
