While many factors contribute to the quality of greaseproof paper, three numbers are particularly critical for defining its high-performance characteristics. These numbers are measurable, scientific, and tell you exactly what to expect from the product.
The 3 numbers that define high-performance greaseproof paper are:
1. 套件评分 ≥ 12
2. Gurley Hill Porosity > 1000秒
3. Basis Weight (GSM) 35 - 50
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what each number means and why it's so important.
1. 套件评级(耐油性)
- The Number: ≥ 12 (Often 12, but high-performance papers can be 15+)
- What It Measures: 这是测试纸张抵抗油脂和油的决定性测试。它测量在标准化条件下,油脂渗透并在另一侧显示可见污渍所需的时间。
- How It Works: 该测试使用一系列编号为1到12的蓖麻油和甲苯溶液(每个“套件”是特定的混合物)。套件12溶液是100%纯蓖麻油——最难以阻挡的物质。套件评级为12意味着纸张在整个测试期间(通常为15分钟)承受了100%蓖麻油,没有渗透或污渍。较低的评级(例如,套件5)意味着它只能抵抗更弱、更稀释的溶液。
- 为什么它定义了性能:这是论文的主要任务。高的套件评级(12或以上)保证它能够有效阻挡脂肪、油和油脂,即使是像炸鸡、培根、比萨饼和糕点这样油腻的食物,防止泄漏、潮湿的包装和污渍表面。
2. Gurley Hill Porosity (Air Resistance)
- The Number: > 1000秒 (越高越好。一些特种纸的时间超过10,000秒)。
- What It Measures: 此测试测量纸张纤维结构的密度和紧密度。它记录在特定压力下,100毫升空气通过纸张单平方英寸所需的时间(以秒为单位)。
- How It Works: A sample is placed in a Gurley Densometer. A cylinder of air is released, and a timer measures how long it takes to pass through the paper. A very low number (e.g., 10 seconds) indicates a porous, breathable paper like a coffee filter. A very high number (e.g., 1200 seconds) indicates an extremely dense, non-porous sheet—the hallmark of true greaseproof paper.
- 为什么它定义了性能:孔隙率与抗油脂性直接相关。油脂和油无法渗透空气不易通过的结构。高Gurley值意味着纤维高度精炼并紧密堆积,形成一个物理屏障,没有油脂迁移的简单通道。它还在纸张湿润时增强了纸张的强度。
3. 基重 (克重)
- The Number: 35 - 50 克每平方米 (GSM)
- What It Measures: This is the weight (in grams) of one square meter of the paper. It’s a direct indicator of the paper's thickness, substance, and durability.
- 如何运作:这是一种对面积上重量的简单测量。虽然这不是对厚度的直接测量(那将是卡尺或微米),但更高的GSM通常与更重、更坚固的纸张相关。
- Why It Defines Performance:
- Too Low (<35 GSM): The paper feels flimsy, is more likely to tear during handling, and may not have enough fiber mass to provide a reliable grease barrier, even with a good Kit rating.
- 理想范围(35-50 GSM):这是高性能食品服务纸的最佳选择。它提供出色的强度和抗撕裂性,同时又不会过于厚重或僵硬。手感扎实,能够承受热油腻食物的重量而不失效。
- Too High (>60 GSM): The paper becomes more like a board, losing the flexibility needed for wrapping and increasing material costs unnecessarily.
Putting It All Together: What to Look For
When evaluating a high-performance greaseproof paper for professional use (e.g., a bakery, food truck, or restaurant), you should look for a product that specifies:
"This paper has a Kit Rating of 12, a Gurley Hill porosity of over 1000 seconds, and a basis weight of 40 GSM."
这三个数字共同提供了论文性能的完整技术图景,远比“超强”或“超级防油”等营销术语更可靠。它们告诉您,它将对油脂具有高度抵抗力,由致密的纤维结构制成,并具有可靠执行其工作的物理强度。
