DIN 53862 is a standard used for determining the tear resistance of a wide range of materials. In order to initiate the tear, a sample of the material is cut in a specific shape and a force is applied perpendicular to the cut direction.

Test conditions specified by DIN 53862 include sample size, cut shape, and rate of application of tearing force.

This standard is used in the textile, paper, and plastic industries to evaluate the quality of their products. In determining the durability and suitability of a material for various applications, its tear strength is one of the most important factors.

NextGen’s NG-HE Elemendorf complies with DIN 53862 standard.
