; Parchment Paper : A sheet of writing material made from the skins of goats or other animals. Vegetable or imitation parchment is made to resemble animal parchment by passing a sheet of unsized, pure fiber paper through a bath of sulfuric acid and then washing it very thoroughly and drying. The acid gelatinizes the surface fibers and the dried surface is grease-proof, has a high wet strength and is very resistant to disintegration by water and many solutions.
; Hemp Paper : A paper made from hemp. Hemp fibers are long and thin. Frequently used in the manufacture of cigarette papers but, due to their high opacity and tensile strength, may be suitable for a wide variety of papers which require these specific characteristics.
