FST-02 Thermal Shrinkage Tester

The FST-02 Thermal Shrinkage Tester is built to quantify shrinking force, contracting force and shrinkage ratio of heat‑shrinkable plastic films during thermal processing. It is designed in accordance with ISO 14616, the international standard for force‑based shrinkage testing. While the listing does not give exact dimensions, typical laboratory models of this class measure roughly 40 cm × 45 cm × 30 cm and operate on a 230 V / 50 Hz power supply. The instrument usually accommodates specimens up to 200 mm × 200 mm and can reach temperatures of 250 °C with an accuracy of about ±0.5 °C.

In the plastics industry, manufacturers of shrink‑film packaging, medical device covers and automotive interior components rely on force‑based shrinkage data to optimise film formulation and extrusion settings. The FST-02’s ability to record both force and linear shrinkage aligns with typical ISO 14616 test rigs, which often feature a calibrated load cell and a temperature‑controlled chamber. Typical force measurement ranges for such testers are 0  -  500 N, providing sufficient resolution for most commercial films.

Potential buyers should ask Packone Sollutions for the exact model specifications, lead time and minimum order quantity, as these details are not disclosed in the listing. The supplier is listed with a harbour‑level trust rating but currently shows a zero response rate, so confirming communication channels in advance is advisable. Payment terms, shipping incoterms and warranty conditions need to be negotiated directly with the supplier before any contract is signed.

Packone Sollutions LLP is headquartered in Thane (Western Mumbai), Maharashtra, India, with the postal code 400607. The company appears in the platform’s harbour‑level trust tier, indicating basic verification of its business credentials, but its response rate is recorded as 0.00, meaning no recent replies have been logged.

The listing specifies that Packone Sollutions offers the FST-02 thermal shrinkage tester built to ISO 14616, but provides no further details on production capacity, MOQ or after‑sales support. Prospective importers should therefore request a full data sheet, certification copies and information on warranty coverage directly from the supplier.
