KIT value 12 visual evaluation ISO 16532-2 / TAPPI T 559
HVTR (mineral oil) 10 g / (m²×d) Gravimetric cup method

1 OTR measured after applied polyolefin type of emulsion around 10gsm (non OTR contributing) for barrier side of SHIELDPLUS to avoid measurement leakage.

Material should be processed within one year from Ex mill date.
