Grammage test of LDPE Laminated foil

Aluminium/ldpe film Structure
  • A selected sample of LDPE Laminated foil cut the sample 10 x 10 cm2 or 5 x 5 cm2 area (as applicable) with the help of a GSM Plate. At different-different samples the position. If the sample is printed remove the printing ink ethyl acetate Carefully remove it. Take the total Grammage of sample weight at the analytical balance.
  • Total Grammage = weight x 100 or 400 (if the sample cut 10 x 10 cm2 or 5 x 5 cm2 area )
  • Dip the sample in a beaker containing toluene (sample completely dipped in toluene regent) for 2 min boil it.
  • The LDPE layer dissolved and the aluminium layer dried at room temperature for 5 min
  • After drying the aluminium layer then take weigh it.
  • Grammage of aluminium = weight x 100 or 400 (if the sample cut 10 x 10 cm2 or 5 x 5 cm2 area )
  • Grammge of LDPE Layer =  Total Grammage – Grammage of aluminium
