Elmendorf Tearing Resistance Test

Elmendorf Method is for the tearing performance testing of flexible PVC, polyolefine, polyester, laminated film, sheets, paper, cardboard, textiles and non-woven, etc.

​Elmendorf Method is also called Elmendorf Tearing Resistance Testing or Pendulum method for its pendulum testing principle.

Elmendorf Method is for the tearing performance testing of flexible PVC, polyolefine, polyester, laminated film, sheets, paper, cardboard, textiles and non-woven, etc. This method can evaluate the tearing resistance property of a specific material so as to guarantee the material selection.
