Material Stretch Test Tear Test

Cellophane Hard to stretch Easy to tear

Cellulose triacetate Easier than polyester to stretch Fairly easy to tear, "smokey" edge to tear

Polyester (oriented) Hard to stretch Hardest to initiate tear, easy to propagate a

tear, tears with rough edge

Polypropylene(oriented, balanced Easier than polyester and balanced Hard to initiate tear, easy to propagate tear,
biaxally) elongation tears with clean edge like cellophane
Polyethylene Easier to stretch Hard to tear, tears in most directions almost
always
Polyvinylchloride Easier than polyester Moderately easy to tear (both initiate and
propagate); ragged tear

Polystyrene Hard to stretch Easy to tear (both initiate and propagate);

clean tear but not straight

Polyester and polypropylene tend to propagate tears; that is once a small cut or puncture has been made in the film, a tear
readily propagates from this point.
Polyethylenes, do not propagate a tear
Tear properties can be enhanced by paper or alumunium foil layers

* Tear initiation : start of a tear

* Tear propagation : spread of a tear
