The bursting factor is also an important property for any packaging materials that is used in industries.
What is bursting factor?
The bursting factor is a value that is obtained by dividing the bursting strength by the GSM of the paper or corrugated board. The Bursting strength of material is determined with the help of a test procedure on an instrument called bursting strength tester. The bursting strength of the materials greatly depends on the structure of the material such as the quality of the fiber used for manufacturing, method of manufacturing, use of different types of fillers and many other factors affect the bursting strength of the material.
Why is Bursting factor important for packaging?
