Wet Tensile Test on Tissues

Wet tensile tests are useful for determining several different paper characteristics such as usage properties of tissues, printing quality of offset printing papers, and runability characterisics in the wet end of a paper machine.

The wet strength of tissues is one of the most important material characteristics for papers that are used wet or are subsequently processed. Zwick offers a quick, dependable method for the determination of wet tensile to Finch. Simple handling of the Finch clamp and a fast change over between wet tensile and other tests highlights the use of Zwick´s testing technology.

For wet tensile tests on tissues the Standards ISO 3781 and TAPPI T 456 are used.
