Description
A paper that was originally treated and embossed to simulate the appearance and texture of animal parchment. Vegetable parchment is a tough translucent paper made from chemical wood pulp and/or cotton fibers. The fiber sheet is processed by immersion in a bath of Sulfuric acid or Zinc chloride to produce a semitransparent paper with low gloss. Vegetable parchment is resistant to grease and solvents and has high wet strength. It may be coated on one side with silica to produce a smooth, nonabsorbent printing surface. Vegetable parchment is used for greeting cards, letterheads, and stationery.
