The amount of moisture in paper affects the overall physical strength, porosity, and printability. This method can be ideal when evaluating different surface coatings applied to the material for increased performance in addition to verification of resistance to water absorption requirements, which are common for some regulated packaging. Depending on the material, the test’s duration is between one and thirty minutes and measures the amount of water absorbed by weight.
