What is wet forces?
Wet force is a term used in the paper industry to describe the ability of a paper product to withstand damage when it is moistened. All types of paper products, from silk paper used in gift containers to brown paper bags, are exposed to testing to determine how well the products hold when some liquid or moisture are introduced. Standards are set for different types of products based on chemicals used to strengthen various paper compounds and configurations for use in the production of these products.
Usually wet forces are presented as a percentage of the dry strength of the paper product. This means that if it is wet, the product should still be able to hold the same type of load or tension up to a certain percentage. With many common household domestic products, the industrial standard for wet force is in the range of 10% to 15% dry force.
Wet force measurement is important for several reasons. One has to do by following and possible exceeding PResteral standards. This is particularly important because these standards are usually determined to meet the minimum government requirements for strength and durability for different types of paper products. By testing how the paper works when it is subject to a certain amount of moisture, it is possible to determine whether the force is sufficient to meet these standards and can be adequately considered safe for use.
Another reason why the measurement of wet force is so important is to deal with the production of sales and building the reputation of quality among consumers. Since consumers will want to get the highest quality level for the money they spend, it means that the products of such paper towels for use in the kitchen will be assessed according to factors such as absorbent and ability to remain unaffected during use. Towels that are well held when used for cleaning the P, counter for wiping noBO cleansing windows are more likely to attract a loyal client base based on their durability.
To increase the strength of wet, manufacturers often add chemicals and other ingredients during the production process. The popular option for some types of paper products is to add the amount of resin to the paper. Other times, the treatment of the exterior of the product using some kind of film or sealant will also help contribute to the overall durability of the product.
