This test is particularly important to evaluate the suitability of paper and board products for packaging applications where resistance to these substances is required to prevent contamination or damage to the contents.
This testing is usually performed using a special test kit designed to evaluate the resistance of paper and board to grease, oil and waxes. The kit typically contains the standardized chemicals and materials required for testing.
Prepare test solutions as specified in the test kit instructions. These solutions typically contain specific combinations of grease, oil and wax materials.
Report results, including the test solution used, the rating or score of each sample, and any other relevant observations. This information helps characterize the repellency properties of the paper or board material being tested.
