Folding endurance
After reading this article you will..
- know that the Zero-span tensile strength measures the single fibre strength, not the paper strength.
- understand that when interpreting foldability results you need to be aware that the results obtained with different testers are different although they follow the same ISO standard.
- know that low surface strength may create linting problems or cause runnability problems.
