EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of the TAPPI T-401 test. This method provides a procedure for the identification and quantitative estimation of the types of fibers present in a sample of paper or board. This method requires the analyst to be skilled and experienced in the field of pulp and paper microscopy.
The analyst should frequently use standard samples of known fiber composition or original fiber samples and be thoroughly familiar with the appearance of different fibers and their behavior when treated with various stains. Morphological characteristics help identify specific fibers such as straw, flax, esparto, softwoods such as southern pine, Douglas fir, western hemlock, and various hardwood species so that accurate weight factors can be applied. Knowing the morphological characteristics of different fibers is necessary for their identification.
This testing method provides a way to determine the percentage of fiber types present in a sample of paper or board. Fiber analysis is an important aspect of paper and board quality control because it can help evaluate the composition and quality of the materials used in their production.
TAPPI T-401 allows paper and board manufacturers to evaluate the composition of their products and ensure they meet quality standards. It is particularly useful for quality control, research and development, and assessing the suitability of raw materials for certain paper products.
