Paper Testing Technology • In Phase I a liquid (adhesive, coating color, printing ink/fountain solution) is applied to the surface of a paper/board. During that, parts of the applied liquid are pushed more or less deeply into the surface due to the arising extremely short (milliseconds or even microseconds!) pressure pulse. The penetration depth depends exclusively on the pressure pulse value (configuration of the application unit, machine speed), the surface porosity of the paper/board as well as the rheological characteristics of the applied liquid. • In Phase II, water (or oil/fountain solution from the emulsion in offset printing process) is transferred from the applied layer into the deeper lying surface areas of the paper/board (within milliseconds or seconds). This increases the viscosity within the liquid layer. This increase of viscosity makes sure that, after leaving the bonding machine, the counterparts bond immediately and the bonded parts do not come loose (in sheet offset process it avoids “ink set off”). This process is only dependent on surface sizing/hydrophoby, if water based liquids are used. • In Phase III (minutes or hours, in coating process seconds), the liquid dries or will be hardened by oxidation (sheet offset). During the bonding process this signifies the final fixation of the bonded parts. This signifies: Due to the process specifications virtually only the surface parameters are important for converting (gluing, printing, coating). This means especially surface porosity and surface hydrophoby/sizing. is a developer and producer of Paper Testing Technology represented worldwide by our sales-network. 6
Paper Testing Technology Why does a standard porosity meter test (Bendtsen porosimeter ISO 5636-3, Gurley porosimeter, Mercury porosimeter) often provide not enough information to predict the behavior of paper/board in the converting process but sometimes even totally wrong information? The below schematic examples show the reason: Bendtsen Porosimeter test Bendtsen result (BS) = Bendtsen result (TS) Pore structure (BS) = Pore structure (TS) = wrong! Fig. 4: Schematic representation of the pore structure distribution of a paper sample in z direction (cross section) and the air flow from Bendtsen porosimeter test, tested both from top side and wire side (example) The air flow through the paper in z direction is controlled by the sum of the smallest pore diameters. But: because of the two-sidedness and the inhomogeneity of the paper the pore structure/size on one side of the paper can be totally different from the other side, or on the surface it can be different from the internal part! The standard methods do not show this. A PDA.C 02 measurement with water+Isopropylalcohol can provide information about the real pore structure on the surface of the paper/board: PDA.C 02 test Testing liquid: water+IPA contacted from BS t95 (BS) ≠ t95 (TS) = right!
