Describes a method of monitoring the levels of certain residual volatile solvents in gravure or flexographic printed and unprinted papers, films, foils and laminates intended for packaging. Intended primarily for process control purposes.

This British Standard describes a method for monitoring the levels of certain residual volatile solvents in unprinted and gravure or flexographic printed papers, films, foils and laminates intended for packaging.

The method is suitable for monitoring the presence of at least the following solvents:

acetone 2-ethoxy-ethanol
tetrahydrofuran isopropanol
N-propanol isopropyl acetate
toluene ethyl acetate
ethanol methyl ethyl ketone (butanone)
N-propyl acetate isobutanol

NOTE 1. Methyl ethyl ketone and tetrahydrofuran have very similar retention times and cannot be resolved by this method. However, the presence of both solvents in any one sample rarely occurs.

NOTE 2. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
