Repulpability Testing
BioPRIA provides industry-aligned repulpability testing to assess how easily fibre-based products break down and disperse in standard pulping conditions. Under the supervision of Prof. Warren Batchelor, our methods follow internationally recognised standards and deliver clear data to support product design, recyclability and performance.
Tests we perform
Repulpability – Mechanical Disintegration Test
Fibre Recovery
Reject Analysis
Standards we follow
Samples analysed
- Coated papers
- Laminated boards
- Barrier papers (wax, polymer, bio-coatings)
- Tissue, paper towel, packaging samples
- Industrial trials (pilot-scale sheets)
Results you receive
-
Repulpability score or pass/fail
- Fibre yield (%)
- Reject content (%)
- Image of screened rejects
- Tensile test of handsheets (accepted fibre)
