ASTM D 792 – Standard Test Methods for Determining Density and Specific Gravity (Relative Density) of Plastics by Displacement Method.

ASTM D 882 is the standard tensile test method for thin plastic coatings.

DEF STAN 59-97 is a defense standard that specifies requirements for several types of heat shrink insulation materials.

Die cutting is a label manufacturing process used to cut various materials into specific shapes using a specialized machine known as a die.

Dielectric strength is a measure of a material’s electrical permeability as an insulator. Dielectric strength is defined as the maximum voltage required to create an electrical breakdown through a material and is expressed in volts per unit thickness (mils or microns). A higher the dielectric strength of a material shows a better quality of insulator.
