With years going by, we are all emerging and advancing, AI integration, sustainable products and increasing quality are making it tough to compete. For the polymer packaging industry, new advancements have come in the face of Bioplastics. But is it worth shifting from the material you are already using to the new-age polymer? Depends on how strong these plastics are compared to other materials present in the market and this crucial decision can be taken only with the help of a high-end, internationally acclaimed Dart Impact Tester.

How much impact resistance are Bioplastics?

There are several factors on which the strength of bioplastics depends when it is compared to other plastic packaging materials like the type, thickness, design, structure etc.

Comparison to other plastics:

• PET (polyethene terephthalate) is more impact-resistant than most bioplastics
• HDPE (high-density polyethylene) has higher impact resistance than PET and, hence is superior then many bioplastics
• PP (polypropylene) and some bioplastics like PLA have similar strength against impact
• LDPE (low-density polyethene) is known for its flexibility and, thus is less impact-resistant than most bioplastics

If we need to rank bioplastics on impact resistance they will be - PHA, PLA, Cellulose-based and the lowest is starch-based. Now if you deal with glass products, you need high-impact resistant products, and if you deal with soft material then low strength will work too. Hence it's vital to test using a drop dart impact tester which plastic material is the right fit for you and if the new-age polymer is suitable for your business or not.

Which impact tester will help evaluate Bioplastics?

Dart Impact Tester by Pacorr has been the no 1 choice for the majority of polymer packaging manufacturers. The machine is designed for testing any kind of impact resistance test on hundreds of packaging materials. It is constructed as per globally accepted standards such as ASTM D-1709, and IS 2508. The test results of the tool are highly accurate and the most precise. Highly advanced features like pneumatically managed clamps and electromagnetic release of darts for adjustable heights are the need of the hour when we are introducing a new kind of polymer material in our packaging industry. When it comes to the pocket-friendly approach, pacorr suits every maker in our country.
