Kraft Paper - Qualities

Qualities

  • Normal kraft paper is strong and relatively coarse. It has high tensile strength. The grammage is normally from 40–135 g/m2.
  • Sack kraft paper, or just sack paper is a porous kraft paper with high elasticity and high tear resistance, designed for packaging products with high demands for strength and durability.
  • Absorbent kraft paper is made with controlled absorbency, i.e., a high degree of porosity. It is made of clean low kappa hardwood kraft and has to have a good uniformity and formation.
  • Spinning kraft paper is an especially strong type of kraft paper with relatively low grammage (40 g/m2). This paper requires the best possible machine direction strength and cross machine elongation. This is done by high fiber orientation on the papermachine.
  • Hunting cartridge paper is a kraft paper used in shotgun shells. This paper needs a high tensile strength in the machine direction, which is the axial direction of the cartridges. In the cross direction, the cartridge is supported by the gun-pipe, but a sufficient elongation is needed. The body of the cartridge is wound of a kraft paper of 80–120 g/m2, which is further covered by an outer sheet of 60–80 g/m2 with colour and printing.
  • Candy wrapping paper or twisting paper are thin 30–40 g/m2 kraft papers and is mostly flexo or offset printed. These papers requires a good strength, with highly oriented fibers. Twisting paper is mostly opaque and often supercalendered.

Famous quotes containing the word qualities:

    “I rarely speak about God. To God, yes. I protest against Him. I shout at Him. But to open a discourse about the qualities of God, about the problems that God imposes, theodicy, no. And yet He is there, in silence, in filigree.”
    —Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)

    “I could better eat with one who did not respect the truth or the laws, than with a sloven and unpresentable person. Moral qualities rule the world, but at shorter distances, the senses are despotic.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I have never looked at foreign countries or gone there but with the purpose of getting to know the general human qualities that are spread all over the earth in very different forms, and then to find these qualities again in my own country and to recognize and to further them.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
