tear strength

Low tear resistance but can be cut to shape or perforated.

At the opposite, materials such as silicone and fluorosilicone have low tear resistance.

Flexible with good tear resistance and excellent memory.

Synthetic thread pattern every 4mm greatly improves tear resistance. 94% Cotton.

Plastic film lamination offering flexibility, tear resistance and long term durability.

Built on a fibreglass base for strength and durability, and high tear resistance.

The tear resistance of the elastomer must be determined using a standard tear test.

For superior bonding strength, impact and tear resistance as well as high transparency.

Substances with high tear resistance include epichlorohydrin, natural rubber and polyurethane.

Tear resistance is then calculated by dividing the force applied by the thickness of the material.

Tear resistance of a geomembrane becomes important when it is exposed to high winds or handling stress during installation.

The ratio of tear resistance to the yield strength is called the tear-yield ratio.

Other properties such as break strength, cling, clarity, tear resistance, static discharge, etc. are also important.

That process increased the strength and tear resistance of durable-press and wash-and-wear fabrics.

It is tough, and has better tear resistance and tensile strength than higher modulus shrink films.

Exposure to light and oxygen results in loss of strength and loss of tear resistance.

Protects load with outstanding tear resistance.

Wrestling is conducted on a padded mat that must have excellent shock absorption, tear resistance, and compression qualities.

Silicone rubber feels soft and is also susceptible to cuts and abrasion, having low "tear resistance".

Backing tensile strength, elongation, stiffness, and tear resistance can be matched to the intended use of the tape.

Tear resistance?

It is easy to cut, wrap and shape and its high tear resistance eliminates the need for frames to support it draped.

They must provide adequate physical protection and retain sufficient physical strength and tear resistance for the lifetime of the enclosed film.

Tear resistance is about the same as texturised nylon but abrasion resistance is less.

The proprietary process provides a film with high impact resistance, propagated tear resistance and chemical resistance.

They are typically very flexible and have a high tear strength.

However, the mechanical properties of the paper, such as tear strength, also need to be determined.

Materials can be characterized by standard methods to measure their 'tear strength'.

Inflatable Seals need to have good memory and high tear strength.

Has good tear strength, but with a softer finish than Superlite.

Cures in 16 hours to a highly flexible rubber with high tear strength.

A variety of easy open devices can be used including a laser-etched area which requires less tear strength.

The enzymatic process gives a product with improved tear strength and more uniform color.

Bond strengths often exceed the tear strength of the Polyurethane itself.

Incredible tear strength means less chance of puncture or rips from animals.

This makes it strong for its weight, as the silicone substantially improves the tear strength.

For example, they exhibit poor tear strength and poor resistance to fatigue.

This film has a low tear strength, making it ideal if an inexpensive tamper-evident seal is required.

That paper has a tensile of 2,800 pounds per square inch, and a tear strength equally unbelievable.

However, lubricating agents during the tanning stage provided no improvement in tear strength of the leather.

Certain lubricating agents added in the later stages of processing were found to significantly improve the tear strength compared to the commercial process.

The tear strength is high and porosity is zero.

The above graph illustrates the reduction in tear strength with temperature of an elastomer rated for use at 150C.

The variables which affect the tear strength can be summarized neatly by the quote:

The microcapsule-based material was capable of recovering almost all of the original tear strength.

In actual use, especially in impingement abrasion applications, high tear strength is important.

Elmendorf Test: A standard test for determining the tearing strength of paper.

Tear strength is in excess of 5 lbs. on the severe tongue tear test method.

Tear Strength is important in that if a fabric ruptures in place, it generally will do so by tearing.

Their flexibility lends them tensile and tear strength.
