Abstract

Mercury intrusion testing is a well established tool which has been used extensively in the paper industry. It is a tool that can be very powerful in giving insight into coating structure and the final print characteristics of a paper. The results vary widely depending on the choice of materials used in production. Pigment and binder choice in particular have a great impact on coating structure, and mercury intrusion testing can be invaluable in predicting or troubleshooting many areas such as ink set rate and other and printing issues.
