ISO 16532-2:2007
Scope
This part of ISO 16532 specifies a method for the determination of the grease resistance of paper and board.
Primarily, it is intended to establish an approximate level of grease resistance, by testing the degree of surface
repellency and/or antiwicking characteristics of paper and board, internally or surface sized with organophobic
materials such as fluorocarbons. Some packaging paper and board products, designed for containing pet
foods, food for human consumption and other materials, are produced in this way, and any surface stains, due
to grease wetting or penetrating the paper or board surface, are aesthetically unacceptable.
This test is not intended to determine the permeability of grease through the paper or board, for which
ISO 16532-1 applies.
