TAPPI T 454 OM 2010 provides a standardized laboratory procedure for comparing the relative resistance of glassine, greaseproof, and vegetable parchment papers to oil and grease penetration. The method describes required apparatus, moisture-free colored turpentine preparation, specimen sampling and conditioning, testing steps, timing, result reporting, precision information, and related standards.
This four-page PDF test method is useful for paper manufacturers, packaging developers, quality laboratories, and technical teams evaluating paper performance for oil- or grease-containing products. Results support preliminary material selection and should be supplemented with testing of prototype end products.
Application Scope: Evaluation and comparison of oil and grease penetration resistance, voids, and suitability of glassine, greaseproof, and vegetable parchment papers for packaging and related paper products.
