What is ISO 11093‑9 about - Flat crush resistance of paper and board products?
ISO 11093‑9 is the ninth part of the ISO 11093 multi-series standard that focuses on testing of cores for paper and board products. This international standard helps its users to determine the durability of their paper and board products.
ISO 11093‑9 specifies a method for the determination of the maximum flat crush resistance of wound paper and board cores.
Note: If the wall thickness of the core is less than 5 mm, the breaking point is not detectable.
Who is ISO 11093‑9 - Flat crush resistance of paper and board products for?
ISO 11093‑9 on flat crush resistance of paper and board products is useful for:
- Paper mills
- Cardboard suppliers
- Packaging companies
Why should you use ISO 11093‑9 - Flat crush resistance of paper and board products?
Cardboard or paper packaging material tends to break when a heavy object is placed in them, perpendicular to the ground. This can damage the product and result in a loss for the packaging company and all other parties involved.
ISO 11093‑9 helps you execute the test method to determine the flat crush resistance of paper and board products by giving a detailed account of its requirements and procedure. ISO 11093‑9 also helps you to evaluate the result and calculate the maximum flat crush resistance of your paper and board products.
In conclusion, the test method in ISO 11093‑9 helps you to identify the maximum weight your packaging can hold without compromising on its own structural integrity.
