    Engineered thermoplastic packaging films perform a dual role in pharmaceutical and medical device packaging: protect the product during distribution and maintain the sterility of the packaged product. As cost constraints force engineers to design packaging films at thinner gauges and lighter basis weights, these lighter films often become more susceptible to abrasion-induced failures. Vibration experienced during distribution can result in the packaged product abrading through the cross-section of the film; thus, sterility is compromised. Presently there are no widely accepted test methods for either healthcare companies or film manufacturers to compare the abrasion resistance of different types of packaging films. The development of a suitable abrasion test method would allow for engineers to better understandand predict the variables that influence abrasion-induced failure.
