Study Objectives & Design • Objective: To demonstrate that tensile strength of our NextGen product is greater than tensile strength of our Current product. • Sampling: – 30 randomly selected Current samples collected over one-year period from multiple production lines
– 30 randomly selected samples from our NextGen product over two-month period from multiple production lines
• Test Method: – SFTE (Society for Testing Everything) Method 102.5-73 requires that the test result for each of the 30 samples is reported as the average of 5 tensile pulls. The data is reported in lbs/in.
