Impact Resistance Tester is suited for medicine package material.
Press Release Summary:
Conforming to medical standard GB 9639-88, ISO 7765-1,and ASTM D 1709-01, falling ball impact resistance tester is intended for impact resistance testing of medical package material. Tester employs electro-magnet to hold and release steel ball. Specimen is set and inserted in pneumatic way, and falling height can be flexibly adjusted according to requirements. Applications include testing of medicine blister packaging (PTP packaging) featuring physallization material.
Original Press Release:
Impact Resistance Testing of Medicine Package Material
Medicine blister package (PTP package) is widely used in mechanical package of solid pharmaceutics such as tablet, capsule, pill and suppository. PVC plate is usually used as the base material. However, since last 90s, physallization material (such as PVDC plate, cold stamping material, PP plate and COC material) for new-type medical blister package with improved permeability and grade is gradually used in the fields of medical production.
Impact resistance is one of the important mechanical properties of material. In Impact resistance test, impact resistance of material is tested under impact load to determine the tenacity or break resistance of polymer material under high-speed impact. Different material or different purpose may adopt different impact testing method. The commonly used methods include pendulum impact test (including strut beam and over beam impact), falling dart impact test and falling ball impact test. In falling dart and falling ball impact testing, falling body (including falling dart, poise and binding ring) or steel ball impact the specimen falling freely from a specific height to test specimen impact resistance. Falling height and quality of falling body or steel ball will directly influence the test result. Shape and dimension of the plunger tip will also exert a tremendous influence to the result. Falling dart impact method is usually used in flexible package. The relating standard are GB 9639-88, ISO 7765-1,and ASTM D 1709-01. Falling dart uses hemisphere plunger tip with a longer slender rod to fix poise (see figure.1). It can be used for impact testing of plastic film or plate with thickness less than 1mm. Falling ball impact test is used in impact testing of some medical sheet material and building material.
At present, falling ball impact resistance tester developed by Labthink special for the impact resistance testing of medical package material completely conforms to the above-mentioned medical standard. Similar to BMC-B1 falling dart impact tester, falling ball impact tester also adopts electro-magnet to hold and release steel ball. Specimen is set and inserted in the pneumatic way. Falling height can be adjusted according to requirement conveniently and flexibly. In addition, the testing steel balling can totally meet the requirement of medical standards.
