When the oral thin film is in use, its mechanical properties will greatly affect the user experience, especially the two indicators of tensile strength and percentage elongation at break. Percentage elongation is calculated by measuring the increase in length of the film after tensile strength measurement. CD Formulation utilizes industry-standard methods to accurately measure the percentage elongation of oral thin films, providing valuable data for quality control and product development purposes.
Our oral thin film percentage elongation is often measured by a texture analyzer or universal testing machine, which strictly meets the standard requirements. The instrument automatically calculates the elongation, effectively ensuring the standardization and accuracy of the test. Our test procedure is as follows:

Percentage Elongation Testing Instruments | Detailed Information |
Texture Analyzer | The texture analyzer is a crucial tool used in oral thin film percentage elongation testing. By applying controlled force and deformation to the samples, the texture analyzer can accurately determine the percentage elongation of the oral thin films, which can automatically calculate the elongation at break. |
Universal Testing Machine (UTM) | The UTM is capable of applying controlled tensile forces to the oral thin film samples to measure percentage elongation, which provides precise and reliable results in oral thin film percentage elongation testing. |

Results: In this study, meloxicam rapid dissolving films were prepared using different polymers, the prepared films were evaluated for various parameters related to the delivery system like thickness, tensile strength, % elongation, etc. From design statistical analysis, the film (batch F6) with PVA (5%) and plasticizer PEG 400 (30%) gave good disintegration time (51 sec), and better percentage elongation.
