TAPPI T 456 is the test method for the tensile breaking strength of paper and paperboard after wetting or a specified treatment. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What TAPPI T 456 Covers
It measures how paper tensile strength changes after a defined treatment such as wetting, characterizing wet strength and durability.
How the Test Is Run
A specimen is conditioned or treated as specified, then gripped and pulled at a controlled rate, and the tensile breaking strength after treatment is recorded.
Why It Matters
Treated tensile strength characterizes wet-strength grades and durability; consistent treatment and gentle handling of weakened specimens are essential.
