Abstract :
Polymer is a very important material when
used as packaging, such as flexible food packaging
which is engaged in the industrial world. The packaging
process is carried out using a rotogravure printing
machine with the procedure stage. To test the feasibility
of the polymer material used, several samples will be
taken to be tested at the Quality Control Laboratory,
one of the parameters is Sealing and Bonding. Sealing
and Bonding are types of tensile testing with the aim of
measuring the tensile strength of seals or bonds of an
object, while the function of testing in companies
engaged in the packaging sector is to find out whether
the polymer material being processed is in accordance
with packaging company standards or in accordance
with consumer demand. In this study, the seal strength
temperature used was in accordance with packaging
standards (150°C) with a speed of 280 mm/min, while
for bonding strength using a speed of 250 mm/min with
a withdrawal distance of 50 mm (5 cm), the thickness of
the specimen tested approximately 70μmm.
