Folding Endurance Tester (Kohler Molin Type)
Double-fold endurance testing — model TI/KMT/52
The Folding Endurance Tester (Kohler Molin Type) determines the folding endurance of paper, thin board and similar materials by subjecting a strip specimen to repeated double folds under controlled tension until the specimen breaks. The number of double folds to failure is displayed on the digital counter. Folding endurance is a critical indicator of fibre flexibility, inter-fibre bonding and durability — vital for currency paper, wrapping paper, map paper and any application where the material will be repeatedly folded in service.
