1.1 This method describes an accelerated test designed to measure the transudation of oily or greasy constituents of products to flexible packages, such as those made from greaseproof, glassine, vegetable parchment, or other grease resistant papers and plastic coatings.

1.2 This method is intended as a supplement for TAPPI T 454 "Turpentine Test for Grease Resistance of Paper" (see Additional Information 9.2 and 9.3).
