CONT

On a établi un grand nombre de méthodes d'essai pour déterminer la performance des traitements chimiques ou détecter la présence de contaminants chimiques. Par exemple, dans le papier d'emballage pour le beurre, on recherche la teneur en fer et en cuivre [...] Autre exemple : l'essai d'inflammation pour s'assurer que le «papier ininflammable» ne brûlera pas quand il sera porté à sa température d'inflammation; cette propriété est importante pour les papiers décors comme les bandes de papier crêpé.
