Paper chemicals designate a group of chemicals that are used for paper manufacturing, or modify the properties of paper. These chemicals can be used to alter the paper in many ways, including changing its color and brightness , or by increasing its strength and resistance to water. [ 1 ]
Tearing strength is the ability of the paper to withstand any tearing force without break. It is useful to evaluate web runability, controlling the quality of newsprint and characterizing the toughness of packaging paper. Tear strength for paper is measured in units of force, frequently measured with the Elmendorf Tester.
The wet strength of paper and paperboard is a measure of how well the web of fibers holding the paper together can resist a force of rupture when the paper is wet. Wet strength is routinely expressed as the ratio of wet to dry tensile force at break. [1] With combined board such as corrugated fiberboard or with laminations, wet strength also ...
Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, [1] is a fundamental materials science and engineering test in which a sample is subjected to a controlled tension until failure. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength , breaking strength , maximum elongation and reduction in area. [ 2 ]
It has high tensile strength. The grammage is normally 40–135 g/m 2. Sack kraft paper, or just sack paper, is a porous kraft paper with high elasticity and high tear resistance, designed for packaging products with high demands for strength and durability. Absorbent kraft paper is made with controlled absorbency (i.e. a high degree of porosity).
Papercrete was also tested for its tensile strength. Fuller noted that a papercrete block was the equivalent of hundred of pages of paper - almost like a catalog. Papercrete has very good shear strength as a block. Lateral load involves sideways force - the wind load on the entire area of an outside wall for example.
