My TAPPI Story: Rory Wolf
TAPPISAFE
The paper industry is continuously improving coating quality and printability to meet higher consumer standards. One key to improving coating quality is to empirically characterize the coating’s surface, structure and printability so as to derive the mechanisms that control quality. The technology to characterize paper coatings has evolved rapidly over the past several years. This technology is reviewed here in the context of coating component identification, measurement of the physical and optical properties of coating surfaces, the internal structure of coatings and printability. The premise of this review is that techniques discussed are applicable to coated papers, and not necessarily to paper coating formulations or basestocks prior to the coating operation. This is a testing situation frequently faced by the paper industry and its suppliers.
