Managing 75% RH for Warp-Free Paper

The document discusses the relationship between moisture levels, temperature, and relative humidity and their effects on paper warping during converting. It notes that the right moisture level needs to be determined for specific paper combinations to prevent permanent shrinkage and warping, and that moisture control of both the board and environment help achieve warp-free converting.

Warp-free converting; Relative

Definition

– Amount of moisture in the air related to the max amount, Varies


with temperature

• Amount moisture in the air above /between the board Varies with
atmospheric conditions and has a influence on the absoluut moisture
in the board.

What moisture level needed in board

– Check with drying oven

– For every paper combination different

– Check moisture content of certain paper


combination
under lab condition after 48hours

– Run the board with these moisture levels


Board static
- Coursed by :
- high contact trought pressure and friction,
and/or low humidity.
- Coated- or papers with a high closed
surface more sensitive.

- Moisture control of the board

- Moisture control of the environment

- Wax bars
