TAPPI UM 555 – Testing of grease-repellant treated paper

This method describes a procedure for testing grease repellency of flexible packaging materials. It is an accelerated test designed to measure the repellency and resistance of oil and grease penetration of fluorochemically treated flexible packaging materials.

This test is intended to supplement TAPPI T 454 “Turpentine Test for Voids in Glassine and Greaseproof Papers” and TAPPI T 507 “Grease Resistance of Flexible Packaging Materials.”
