The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) determines the seal strength of flexible barrier materials in accordance with ASTM F88 testing standards.
What is ASTM F88?
The American Society for Testing and Materials developed F88 as a standard test method for assessing the seal strength of flexible barrier materials often used in medical packaging. ASTM F88 determines how adept a package seal is at resisting separation. The standard is popular amongst medical packaging manufacturers because it’s highly effective at ensuring that a package’s seal can maintain the sterility of the package’s contents.
