ASTM F88/F88M, “Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials,” has just been updated and the new 2015 Edition is available from Document Center now. You may purchase the F88/F88M – 15 in paper format, for pdf download, and as part of our Standards Online multi-user subscription service. And there is also a redline edition of this new release available to help you with your gap analysis efforts.
ASTM F88/F88M is a popular packaging standard here at Document Center. It provides you with the details of how to perform what’s sometimes called a peel test, a way to measure the ability of a package to resist separation. You’ll find it used for a wide variety of packaging applications over a broad segment of industry.
Apart from the changes to the numbering and acceptance date, changes to the standard are minimal in length. Section 10, on how to report the results of your test, has been updated. The change is significant.
If you need a copy of this widely used standard, you can order it at the Document Center webstore, www.document-center.com. Here’s a link directly to the order page for ASTM F88/F88M.
