Introducing CPPA D9 – Industrial Physics

CPPA D9 is a global CPPA testing standard that provides a tear strength testing method of paper samples.

The Canadian Pulp & Paper Association (CPPA) has developed a set of pulp and paper testing standards that guide the activities of companies that produce pulp, paper and paperboard.  

What is freeness of pulp testing useful for?  

How much resistance would it take to tear your paper sample apart? Are you confident that your materials will be able to withstand the pressures they’re likely to face? Be certain that you know exactly how a sample will react, with the tear strength testing approach.
