Paper/Alum/Nat poly Film Grammage testing procedure

Paper Alum Nat poly Film structure
  • Selected sample of the combination of layer Glassine Paper/Alum foil/Nat Foil cut 10 x 10 cm or 5 x 5 cm with the help of a GSM plate, then weigh an analytical balance.
  • Total Grammage= weight in gram x 100 or 400 (if the sample cut 10 x 10 cm or 5 x 5 cm)
  • If the sample is printed then dip the cotton or cloth and remove the printed ink.
  • Dip the sample completely in acetone for 10 to 15 min poly layer separated. Dry the poly layer in a hot air oven at 750c for 1 min. cool the sample in the desiccator, weigh the sample an analytical balance 
  • Grammage of poly layer = weight in gram x 100
  • Take a remaining sample and dip it in hot water for 30 minutes, using a clean cloth remove the paper, dry the aluminium layer in a hot air oven 700 c for 2 min then cool in a desiccator. Take weight in an analytical balance.
  • Grammage of Alum layer = weight in gram x 100
  • Grammage of Glassine paper layer = Total Grammage- ( GSM of poly layer + GSM of alum layer)
