Detection and Solution of Sealing Strength of Black and White Film Packaging for Liquid Milk PE

【Chinese Packaging Network News】 Liquid milk often used PE black and white film packaging, but this type of packaging often occur due to improper seal strength and liquid leakage at the closure of the sealing phenomenon, how to ensure a good seal strength to meet the integrity of the packaging seal The effect requires relevant testing. This article uses the XLW (PC) intelligent electronic tensile tester independently developed by Jinan Languang Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. to test the sealing strength of a brand of liquid milk black and white film packaging bags (also known as heat seal strength or heat seal strength or seal strength or seal Strength), details the principle of its detection equipment, operating procedures and application of information and other information, in order to control the liquid milk packaging bag sealing effect to provide a certain technical guidance value.

1, the meaning
The packaging of liquid milk is mainly divided into bagged, boxed and bottled, in which the bagged liquid milk is easy to carry, the cost of the used packaging material is low, and the barrier properties of some bag materials and other important properties can satisfy the liquid milk. Due to the quality requirements during the shelf life, the bag form is quite popular among dairy product manufacturers. The bagged liquid milk is mainly divided into two categories: Bailibao and aseptic pillows. The cost of the aseptic pillow packaging is relatively high. Therefore, considering the popular benefits, the use of Bailibao is more extensive. Bailibao's commonly used materials are black and white films and milky white films. Due to the barrier property of milky white films, the liquid milk packaged has a shorter shelf life, generally only 3-5 days. The addition of a high barrier resin material to the black and white film can prolong the shelf life of the black and white film packaged liquid milk, so the bagged liquid milk is mainly based on black and white film packaging.
Liquid milk black and white film is mainly based on different types of PE as the main resin raw material, according to the liquid milk quality needs to choose to add barrier resin raw materials, and then mixed into black and white masterbatch co-extruded co-extruded film. The sealing effect of liquid milk PE black and white film packaging seal is related to the type of PE used and its added ratio, and the parameter setting of the heat sealing equipment, if it contains a good thermal viscosity, a wide range of heat sealing temperature, heat sealing of inclusions The more excellent PE type resin can guarantee higher heat sealing strength and better sealing performance. However, besides ensuring the good heat sealability of the PE black and white film's own material, the heat sealing temperature, pressure, and time set by the heat sealing equipment are also critical to the sealing quality. If the above heat sealing parameters are too large or too small, the parameters will be critical. Causes cracks or leaks in the sealing area of ​​the package. Therefore, the heat-sealing effect of liquid milk black and white film packaging seals should be strictly monitored. Usually, the seal strength indicators are used to characterize the seals, also known as heat seal strength, seal strength, and heat seal strength. The higher the general strength value, the stronger the seal, but It is not so good that the seal strength value is better, and it is necessary to comprehensively determine the heat sealing effect of the seal in conjunction with the relevant test phenomenon. In this paper, the method of detecting the sealing strength and the test phenomenon of the fresh milk PE black and white film packaging bag are introduced.
2, the status quo
The liquid milk black and white film packaging is mainly in the form of a three-side seal, ie, three sides of the packaging bag are formed by heat sealing. For the detection of the sealing strength of this type of packaging bag, the standard currently used in the country is QB/T 2358-1998 "Test method for heat sealing strength of plastic film packaging bag".

3, test sample
A brand of PE black and white film-packed pure milk was purchased on the market at random.

4, equipment

This article uses Labthink Languang XLW (PC) intelligent electronic tensile testing machine to test the sealing strength of pure milk packaging bags.
4.1 Test principle
The sample is clamped between the two clamps of the clamp. The two clamps move relative to each other. The force value sensor and the built-in displacement sensor on the movable clamp are used to collect the force value change and displacement during the test. Changes were made to calculate the seal strength, tensile strength, tear strength, and deformation rate of the sample.

5, the test process

(1) Use a sampler to cut 10 samples from each heat sealing edge of purchased liquid milk packaging bag (required to cut from 3 different packaging bags of the same sample). The width of the sample is 15 mm. The deployment length is 100 mm. (2) Set test parameters such as specimen width, thickness, and test speed in the software configured in the tensile tester. (3) The sample is unfolded and clamped on the jig so that the long axis direction of the sample coincides with the center line of the jig. (4) Click the Start Test button in the software to start the test. The system automatically calculates and records the test results.
6, test results

The top-down package is used as the basis for judging the upper seal, lower seal, and side seal. The average value of the heat seal strength of the 10 upper seal samples cut from the 3 bags is 20.044 N/. The average heat-seal strength of 15mm, 10 lower seal samples was 19.781 N/15mm, and the average heat seal strength of 10 side seal samples was 22.407 N/15mm.
