Glassine or it's early predecessors was developed in the early nineteenth century.
Well, honey, glassine is made by passing a continuous web of paper through a machine that applies a super thin layer of gelatin. This gelatin coating gives the paper its smooth, glossy, and water-resistant properties. So, basically, it's like paper's fancy cousin who's not afraid to get a little wet and wild.
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
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

The density of a sheet of paper can vary depending on its composition, but typically ranges from 800 to 1200 kilograms per cubic meter.

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.

Clear acetate was used for map overlays on a common basis all the way until the end of the 20th century. Glassine may (or may not) have been used as a supplement, experimental, or "ration" packaging.
