handtearable
Handtearable refers to a characteristic of certain materials that allows them to be torn by hand without the need for cutting tools. This property is often desirable in applications where ease of opening, packaging, or modification is important. Materials that are handtearable typically have a structure that is inherently weak along a specific axis or exhibits controlled points of failure.
The degree of handtearability can vary significantly. Some materials might tear cleanly and easily with minimal
Common examples of handtearable materials include certain types of plastic films used in packaging, paper products
