Determination of Elongation in Paper Products (%)
Determination of Elongation in Paper Products (%)

The main component of all cleaning papers is the same: tissue. Tissue refers to paper types such as toilet paper, handkerchiefs, paper towels and napkins, which are low in weight, usually made by dry creping and sometimes wet creping. Because of its low weight, cleaning papers are usually produced from several layers. Fully chemically bleached cellulose or cleaned waste papers are used as raw materials in the production of these papers. In the meantime, printing waste clippings are mixed with cellulose.

There are numerous test methods and standards applied in the production of paper and cardboard. When our country started to give importance to export, product quality came to the forefront. All test methods, measurement systems and analysis methods concerning quality are also applied in our country.

Authorized laboratories, within the scope of specific tests Tests and analyzes are performed to determine the elongation rate of paper products (%). These studies are based on standards published by domestic and foreign organizations. The standards considered to determine the elongation rate (%) of the papers are as follows:

  • TS EN ISO 12625-6 Soft tissue and paper products - Part 6: Weight determination

This standard covers the test method to determine the weight of soft tissue and similar products. Weight is measured by determining the mass of soft tissue or similar products cut to a certain size by determining a mass of a test sample or by determining the area and mass of a certain number of finished soft products.

·          TS EN ISO 1924-2 Paper and cardboard - Determination of rupture properties - Part 2: Constant speed drawing method

This standard specifies a test method for measuring the tensile strength, elongation at break and absorption of breaking energy of products such as paper and cardboard, using a test device which draws at constant speed.
