Flexible Packaging & Food Safety

The Battle Against Leaks

Flexible Films (BOPP, PE, PET) are the shield for food products.

- The Failure Mode: Weak heat seals lead to oxidation and spoilage. Conversely, "impossible to tear" snack bags frustrate consumers.

Precision for Thin Films

The KHT XLW-PC Series is the benchmark for ASTM F88 (Seal Strength) and ASTM D882 (Tensile Properties).

- Solution: With an extra-long 900mm stroke, the XLW-PC can stretch high-elongation films to their breaking point without running out of travel space.

- Method Compliance: The system comes pre-set with the critical 300mm/min test speed for heat seal testing (as per ChP 4008), ensuring your QC data is audit-ready for both domestic and export markets.
