Product Data Sheet
Paper Testing Waxes
These are used for the evaluation of surface strength of Paper and Paperboard. Waxes are heated and applied to the surface of the sheet. After cooling, they are pulled from the surface and the wax stick is checked to see if it has pulled fiber or coating from the surface. The highest value wax which does not rupture the surface is reported as the pick strength of the sheet.
This traditional test has been used for many years and is well known in all parts of the world. It is simple, easy to use, and inexpensive

Mac Millan Bloedel Lint & Dust Tester
Developed by MacMillan Bloedel Research, the MB Linting and Dusting Tester is used ON MACHINE to quickly evaluate quantities of loose and weakly bound fiber and filler on the sheet surface. This is accomplished through the use of a 3 stage measurement head which loosens weakly bound materials with its "disruptor jets", moves them to the vacuum section, and removes them to the measurement chamber for evaluation.
It is worth noting that the compressed air from the disruptor jets also acts as an air bearing which greatly reduces or eliminates contact with the sheet. Contaminants are sucked through a calibrated filter and quantified as a function of the time required to accomplish a given pressure drop across the filter.
