PDA Penetration Dynamics

Penetration dynamics analyzer Emtec PDA.C 02

​

Ultrasonic Tester for the Determination of Paper/Board Properties via Measuring the Wetting Behavior and Absorption of Liquids. PDA provides the measurement of surface and internal properties of paper & board in order to predict the behavior in the converting process.

Main applications

Main applications:

• Impregnating process of decor paper: impregnating resin absorption by decor papers

Printability:

• Effect of surface sizing and porosity on penetration of fountain solution or oil in the offset process

Glueability:

• Effect of surface sizing and porosity on the glueability

​

Coating process:

• Surface sizing and surface porosity of coating base paper surfaces

• Quality of coated paper(Latex filming, porosity, thickness of coating layer)

• Use of test and process liquids of low to medium viscosity:

           - impregnating resins

           - water

           - oil

           - fountain solution

​

Results:

• Intensity-Time-Graph, automatically calculated values

​

Main user:

• Producers of paper/board, converting industry, chemical suppliers, machine builders
