Optimizing Blister Package Material Performance Through Impact Resistance Testing

Blister packages (PTP packages) are widely used for solid pharmaceuticals like tablets and capsules. Material selection for these packages is crucial as it impacts the integrity and shelf life of the medication. Impact resistance is a critical mechanical property that ensures the package can withstand potential impacts during storage and transportation.
 


Impact resistance testing offers several benefits for manufacturers and users of blister package materials. It ensures product integrity. By identifying materials with sufficient impact resistance, manufacturers can minimize the risk of damage to packaged medications during handling and distribution. The test helps Maintaining product quality by Maintaining package integrity safeguards the quality and efficacy of the medication throughout its shelf life.

The commonly used methods in impact resistance test include pendulum impact test, falling dart impact test and falling ball impact test. In falling dart and falling ball impact testing, falling body impact the specimen falling freely from a specific height to test specimen impact resistance. The extent of damage to the specimen, evaluated based on standardized criteria, determines the material's impact resistance.





Labthink C670M Falling Dart Impact Tester is suitable for measuring the impact mass and energy of plastic film or sheet when 50% of the sample is damaged under the impact of free-falling dart at a given height.

In conclusion, impact resistance testing plays a vital role in the quality control of blister package materials. By employing the falling ball impact test method and utilizing a dedicated testing instrument, manufacturers can select suitable materials that ensure the safe and effective delivery of pharmaceuticals to patients.

As the demand for functional packaging materials grows, testing methods are evolving to ensure a more comprehensive evaluation of packaging films. Labthink encourages collaboration with packaging industry companies for quality control! Visit the website www.labthink.com to learn more!
