[JISZ0238] or [ASTM(F88-06)] are generally used as evaluation standards for verification of the finish of heat sealing. However, even if the requirements of these standards are met. pinholes and breaks will randomly occur and reliable heat sealing cannot be ensured. Conventional heatsealng methods have sought to maximize adhesive strength through cohesive adhesion of the melt state. However, protrusion of molten heat sealant beyond the heat sealing line can form polymer balls that become origins for breaks. Ruptures are caused immediately when critical stress for the cohesive adhesive state is reached. On the other hand, for the heat seal initially formed by surface adhesion, peeling occurs that functions to control stress breaking.
ln this paper, the following points are discussed.
1)The mixing of the two heat sealing conditions of adhesion on the inside and cohesion on the outer boundary of the heat sealing plane.
2)Making the heat sealing plane function effectively.
3)Controlling the generation of pinholes in heat sealing to control the root cause of heat seal breaks.
