Bend Tolerance
Bend tolerance describes how well a material, film, fiber, laminate, or component can withstand bending without cracking, delaminating, whitening, or losing performance. It is especially important in flexible packaging, interlayers, electronics, hoses, and other applications exposed to repeated flexing or curved designs.
