Coloured Greaseproof Paper: Comprehensive Technical Overview1. Definition and CompositionColoured greaseproof paper is a specialized packaging material composed of wood pulp (typically 60-80% alpha-cellulose content) that has undergone extended refining (30-60 minutes at 40-60°C) to create a dense fiber network with reduced porosity. The coloration is achieved through FDA-compliant food-grade dyes (0.5-3% by weight) that maintain stability at temperatures up to 220°C. The base paper typically has a basis weight of 30-120 g/m², with thickness ranging from 40-150 microns.Unlike standard greaseproof papers, the colored variants incorporate lightfast pigments that maintain chromatic stability (ΔE ≤ 3.0 after 500 hours of UV exposure per ISO 105-B02) while preserving the material's functional properties.2.
