Substrate Secrets: What, why and how do we measure substrate properties? Part 3 Members Public

As I have said before, substrates harbor many secrets. Some are easy to discern; some are not. Critical properties should be measured and controlled to ensure accurate property levels are met or known. I will continue with what properties should be measured, along with a discussion on how to use

SUBSTRATE SECRETS | What, why, and how do we measure substrate properties? Part 1 Members Public

Substrates harbor many secrets. Some are easy to discern (such as haze and gloss), while others (such as barrier, tensile strength or heat-sealing properties) can’t be known by simple visual appearance. However, they should all be measured to ensure accurate property levels are met or known. But which properties
