Binding cardboard is a heavy-duty material used to make printed materials. Use it as covers for books, albums, diaries, encyclopedias and other print media. The porous structure of the cardboard absorbs moisture well and is quite easy to process. Its natural color is brown. High operational properties of the material serve to expand its production from year to year. Thanks to a protective barrier to damage, cardboard has firmly taken its place in industrial production.
Material Description
The cardboard is flexible and easily takes any shape, while not bursting at the fold. The density of the binding board is measured in kilograms per 1 m 2 .
The material plays a huge role in printing. The covers of children's books and literature are made from binding cardboard, because this type of printed product should have a strong binding and be wear-resistant in conditions of increased risk.
Due to its high absorbency, various colors can easily be applied to cardboard, which is why it is widely used for the manufacture of cases, boxes, photo frames and even suitcases.
The thickness of the binding cardboard varies from 0.5 to 3 ml, it depends on the purpose of production. In appearance, it looks like thick paper or corrugated cardboard, but still the manufacturing technology is different. Its production is based on coarse fiber of plant origin. But it is precisely such a production technique that provides the material with porosity, which allows it to quickly absorb water and easily cut.
Types of Binding Cardboard
Depending on the amount of cellulose, as well as waste paper in its composition, several varieties are distinguished.
In the manufacture of cardboard brand "A" in addition to a large amount of pulp, brown wood pulp is also used. Such material is the most durable. Due to the fact that such cardboard does not stick, it can be used repeatedly. It makes puzzles, file folders, suitcases, canvases for high quality works.
In the production of grades "B" and "PKS" do not use wood, making it only from unbleached pulp. This type of cardboard is glued from several layers of cardboard with gum rosin.
The production of binding cardboard is also widespread abroad. Moreover, the manufacturing technology is almost no different from domestic.
Benefits
Binding cardboard has high strength, and the material itself has a smooth surface. Despite its density and thickness, cutting cardboard is quite simple. It is an inexpensive option to get quality packaging.
The material has high absorbent properties due to the porous structure. And, therefore, it will protect products during storage or transportation from negative external influences. Cardboard is resistant to any weather conditions.
Boxes made of binding cardboard are a reliable type of packaging; they do not lose their shape and are not deformed. The material retains the taste and quality characteristics of the products packaged in it.
Scope of application
Binding cardboard found wide application in the printing house. The material that is now used for binding books does not crack, warp or stratify. Gone are the days when insulating and suitcase boards were used for this.
Cardboard is used in the production of high-quality packaging for food products, preserving the shape and appearance of the goods. At the same time, it is a heat-resistant material that can retain heat for a long time. Moreover, cardboard perfectly protects against the absorption of odors by the goods stored in it.
In the art field has found its application in the production of canvases and puzzles. And in the automotive industry it is used as a frame for the armrests.
Binding cardboard is also used when sewing hats that need a certain shape, which will retain its properties for a long time. For example, kokoshniks, visors for baseball caps and caps.
In the furniture industry, it is used as upholstery. In the production of cultural goods, cardboard is used for the manufacture of children's board games, posters, notebooks, envelopes, stickers, labels, cases, drawing paper and other stationery.
