Our polythene was tested alongside an industry standard 1000g polythene for comparison. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bpf.co.uk\/plastipedia\/testing\/Default.aspx\" title=\"\">polythene testing process<\/a> comprised of Strength, Impact Resistance and Tear Resistance testing, see the below chart for the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thermac.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Lab-test-results-1024x392.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thermac.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Lab-test-results-1024x392.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.thermac.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Lab-test-results-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thermac.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Lab-test-results-768x294.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thermac.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Lab-test-results-157x60.png 157w, https:\/\/www.thermac.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Lab-test-results.png 1396w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our 800g polythene is represented by 200MU (microns) and the comparison polythene is 250MU.
