Description
A plain-weave, coarse, stiff, Cotton or Linen fabric sized with a water-based Glue or Starch. Buckram is sometimes filled and/or coated, then calendered to produce a smooth finish. It can be moistened then molded to shape to produce a stiff support. Buckram is often used for stiffening, interlinings, book bindings, box making and shaping hats. Formerly some buckram contained pyroxylin (cellulose nitrate, that was warmed to create the desired shape, such as for a hat. Cellulose nitrate is no longer used, but some buckrams do contain an acrylic.
