    Tear strength of paper


    Posted on November 4, 2014 by admin

    What is the tear strength of paper?


    The tear strength of paper means the resistance of a paper sheet to
    tearing force that it is subjected to. It is another important basic
    physical property of paper and paperboard. It is measured in both
    machine direction (MD) & cross direction (CD) and expressed as mN
    (mili Newton). Machine direction means the direction of the paper
    web which is running on the machine during paper making. On the
    other hand cross direction means the direction, which is
    perpendicular to the paper sheet that is running on the machine
    during paper making.

    Factor of the tear strength of paper


    Tearing resistance depends on the degree of fiber refining, related to inter fiber bonding, the fiber
    strength, the fiber length, the quality and quantity of fillers used. Among of them fiber length and fiber
    bonding are most important factor. Longer fibers increase the tear strength because it is able to distribute
    the stress over more fibers and more bonds, whereas short fibers concentrated the stress in a smaller
    region. The direction of the fiber is another important parameter for tear strength. It is larger in lateral
    direction of the fiber than in longitudinal direction. Appropriate refining is increased the tearing
    strength, whereas insufficient and extra refining decreased. It is also decreased by the uses of more filler.

    Applications
    The tearing strength property is significant factor for many applications involving cover papers,
    wrapping, toughness of packaging papers, bond papers, envelope papers, printer and converter.

    Tear factor and its calculation


    Tear factor is calculated as tear strength per unit basis weight and expressed as mN/g/m2 or dm2 . Tearing
    factor = Tearing strength/grammage
    If the tearing strength = x mN
    basis weight = y g/m2
    Then the tear factor = x/y mN* m2/g or 100*x/y dm2

    Types of instruments
    There are two types of instruments are used for tear strength measurement, for example Elmendorf &
    Trouser tear device. Elmendorf tear test are used most commonly.
