Product Quality

|
The Product Quality Programme groups its projects under two headings: Surface Treatment and Printability. The general objectives of all the different projects are to develop and to improve paper and board products while controlling their quality and foreseeing their behaviour when subjected to future uses. In Surface Treatment, collaboration with universities provides invaluable, fundamental knowledge of complex phenomena occurring during coating and calendering, which is then communicated through technology transfer to industry. New quality control tools are being developed. In Printability, the research objective is to develop laboratory tests for predicting the printability of paper and board, its machinability and the quality of the printing, regardless of the process used: offset, rotogravure, flexography or digital. The tests are elaborated from knowledge acquired through numerous industrial trials on the appropriate machines.
