Grease Proof Paper Caterer’s pack SS

Greaseproof paper is a type of “FOOD contact paper, which comes in contact with food” which is impermeable to oil or grease and is normally used in food packaging.

Refining the paper stock and thus creating a paper sheet with very low porosity and low surface energy, which enables it to repel oil and grease is called greaseproof paper.

The sheet of paper is super calendared to further improve It’s density, it leads to a grade of paper called glassine. (Glass like translucent appearance)

The glassine is then treated with starches; alginates or carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in a size press to fill pores or treat the paper chemically,(to make it lowers it’s surface energy) to make it grease/oil/fat repellent. – GREASE PROOF PAPER.

Common basis weights are usually 29gsm – 50gsm (But can be produced in 26gsm and up to 90gsm as well and all other gsm in between against specific custom order)

Grease proof paper (GP) is available in Bleached (White), unbleached and also in Grey (Produced against order) and is characterized by it’s KIT Value.

(KIT test measures the grease and oil resistance measured by its KIT value which ranges from 1-12 where 1 values has the least resistance and 12 has the max resistance to penetration of grease /oil through the surface of paper)
