PARCHMENT FOOD GRADE 2 SIDE COATED BUTTER PAPER 40 GSM

Product Details

Parchment Paper 2-Side Coated Butter Paper 40 GSM is a specialized paper product designed for various applications, particularly in food packaging and cooking. The paper typically has two coated sides, which enhance its properties for use in environments where both durability and food safety are important. Below is a detailed specification for this type of paper: 1. Material Composition Base Material: Typically made from virgin wood pulp or food-safe recycled fibers, ensuring that the paper is safe for food contact. The paper is often treated to ensure a smooth texture and superior performance. Coating: The paper is coated on both sides, usually with a thin layer of a food-safe coating (such as silicone or a polymer coating) that enhances its moisture, grease, and heat resistance. The coating also helps to provide a non-stick surface, making it ideal for baking or wrapping greasy foods. 2. Physical Properties Basis Weight: 40 GSM (Grams per Square Meter), which indicates that the paper is lightweight yet durable enough to perform its intended function. Thickness: Typically ranges between 0.05–0.07 mm, depending on the exact coating and paper composition. Brightness: High brightness (typically 85–95%), ensuring a clean and bright appearance. This makes the paper suitable for high-quality printing, if required. Opacity: Around 80-90%, which helps to prevent the design or contents from showing through the paper. It also allows for good printability on the coated surfaces. 3. Surface Properties Two-Side Coating: The dual coating ensures that both sides of the paper have enhanced functionality: Coated Sides: Both sides are smooth and have an attractive glossy finish, which makes the paper ideal for packaging, as well as for use in cooking (such as in baking sheets or as wrapping for food). Non-Stick: The coated surfaces make the paper resistant to sticking when used for baking or food wrapping, making it easy to remove food items like pastries, cakes, or sandwiches. Smooth Finish: The coating helps create a smooth, non-porous surface that resists moisture and oil, ensuring that it does not soak through easily or weaken when in contact with greasy foods. 4. Functional Properties Food Safety: The paper meets food-grade safety standards (such as FDA, EU regulations), ensuring that it is safe for direct food contact. It is free from harmful chemicals or substances that could leach into the food. Heat Resistance: The two-sided coating enhances the heat resistance of the paper, making it suitable for applications like baking, cooking, or wrapping hot food items. Grease and Moisture Resistance: Due to the coating on both sides, the paper is resistant to grease, moisture, and oils, making it ideal for wrapping greasy or wet foods (like butter, sandwiches, pastries, etc.). Non-Toxic: The coating used is typically food-safe and non-toxic, ensuring that the paper can be used for various food-related applications without affecting the food's quality or safety. 5. Environmental Properties Recyclability: Most parchment paper is recyclable, especially if it is free from contaminants such as food residues or plastic. The paper can be reused in certain cases and is biodegradable. Biodegradable: As a paper product, it is biodegradable under proper conditions, making it an environmentally friendly choice compared to synthetic, plastic-based alternatives. Sustainability: Many parchment papers are made from sustainably sourced wood pulp or recycled materials, contributing to reduced environmental impact.
