This test determines the amount of residual solvents remaining in flexible packaging materials after the printing or lamination process. A sample is sealed in a vial and heated, allowing the solvents to evaporate into the headspace, which is then analyzed using gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector.

The resulting values indicate whether the packaging complies with specific technical requirements or legal migration limits (SML). This allows manufacturers to verify that solvent residues are kept below safe thresholds, ensuring product quality and consumer safety.

Test Method Group: specific migration

Norms:

Required Sample Amount: Small reel (if not available: film stack or original sample in gastight packaging). The measurement of foil cuts or manually rolled samples can lead to reduced findings.
