(November 2007) - Independent laboratory test results reveal that platen laminated polycarbonate (PC)
cards incorporating PPG TESLIN® substrate withstand flexing stress better than platen laminated all-PC cards.
Card Flexure Durability (NCITS 322 Test Methods)
| Test | Flex–A axis | Flex–B axis |
|---|---|---|
| Teslin substrate / PC | 100,000* | 62,100 to 100,000 |
| All-PC | 100,000* | 39,600 to 81,700 |
Flex: 60 cycles / minute until 1/2” fracture or 100,000 cycles
*Test stopped after 100,000 cycles without failure.
