Tensile strength refers to the resilience of the sheet against ripping. The direction of tensile strength can be distinguished between machine direction (MD) and cross direction (CD). When the laundry sheet is produced, the lengthwise direction (direction of production) is the machine direction. The direction rectangular thereto is the cross direction.
