Evaluation of Wax-Impregnated Corrugated Fiberboard Containerizers and Sheathing

摘要

The study was conducted to evaluate the performance of wax/resin-impregnated double-wall corrugated fiberboard containerizers and single-wall corrugated fiberboard wax-impregnated sheathing for palletized loads. The containerizers were evaluated to determine their compressive strength and resistance to rough handling under various environmental conditions. They were subjected to compression tests and rough handling tests after conditioning at 100F., 90% R.H., water spray, and at 73F. plus or minus 5F. and 50% plus or minus 5% R.H. The single-wall sheathed loads were subjected to rough handling tests under similar conditions. Components were tested for wet and dry puncture, wet and dry mullen, water pick-up, and for bleeding.
