Glassine is a paper product made to be resistant to grease, air, and water. It is made through a process called calendering. Glassine is made by breaking down paper pulp fibers. This beaten pulp is then squeezed into molds and set to dry into sheets. These sheets are then rolled through hot rollers. This is calendering. Calendering makes the plup fibers in the sheet lie flat and in the same direction. Glassine is known as supercalendered paper. This is because it goes tough the calendering process multiple times. The final product is a extreamly smooth paper which can be used as barrier protection from many kinds of gease, air, and liquids.
Glassine or it's early predecessors was developed in the early nineteenth century.
The difference between glassine envelopes and regular envelopes is that the first ones are water and air resistant, that is why they have different uses, such as carrying pharmacy products or firecrackers.
I'm not sure how accurate my workings are, probably not very because our scales aren't very accurate. But according to my workings, the paper I measured was aboug 0.0008 grams per cubic millimetre. Using that you can find the density in cubic centimetres or metres...
to be use as writing paper
We can almost easely recycle glassine paper in paper-maker industry. The plant of Vertaris, located in Voreppe (38) France is able to use this material. For more informations, please contact Franck Duranton 00 33 (0)6 45 51 23 67
Density of paper varies from 0.25 (soft tissue) to 1.5 (super calendered glassine) gm/cm3.
Yes, glassine bags are biodegradable. Glassine is manufactured by a process called calendering. After pulping and drying sheets are passed through rollers so that the paper fibers are flattened out and facing in the same direction. To maximize the smoothness and thinness of the paper the glassine goes through this process several times. Since glassine is made of only paper it is biodegadable.

Galssine is not the correct spelling of this word. Glassine is a glossy transparent paper that is used in photographs. This paper is water and air resistant.

Designs are cut into a colored lacquer laminated to a sheet of glassine paper, so that the whole assemblage can be mounted on a screen before the removal of the uncut paper backing and subsequent printing

Glassine bags are the bags that you can usually find at bakeries when you buy baked goods. They are readily available online at kitchen supply stores and at Amazon.
