ISO 16770
Plastics Determination of environmental stress cracking (ESC) of polyethylene


ISO 16770 establishes the test method for measuring tear propagation resistance in vulcanized elastomers and rubber materials. The standard evaluates the energy required to extend a pre-existing tear through standardized test specimens subjected to tensile loading. This method is essential for characterizing material durability and aging resistance, providing critical performance data for engineering components exposed to repeated mechanical cycles and dynamic stresses. The test results support design and material selection for demanding applications requiring reliable tear resistance.
