Greaseproof paper
Greaseproof glassine paper is impermeable to oil or grease and is normally used in cooking or food packaging. Permeability rate can be measured using various tests: Kit(TAPPI T599), Turpentine(KAPPI T454), or ISO 16532. To create greaseproof paper, standard glassine is treated with starches, alginates, or carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in a size press to fill pores or alter the paper with fat repellent chemicals. Basis weights are usually 30–50 g/m.
