Gamma sterilization affecting paperboard, specifically SBS

  • 1.  Gamma sterilization affecting paperboard, specifically SBS

    Posted 10-18-2022 09:09 PM
    Hello everyone,

    I'm conducting engineering testing using a 24pt SBS carton/carton insert and have observed that the combination of gamma sterilization and environmental conditioning has affected the structural integrity of the SBS board.

    Are there any articles or studies that cover this topic? Specifically, if gamma sterilization affects paperboard.

    Thank you in advance!
