parchment bond
A class of writing paper used in lieu of genuine
or vegetable parchment for bonds, legal documents,
etc. It is a superior grade of paper made from
cotton and bleached chemical wood pulps which are
usually well beaten to produce adequate hydration
of the fibers. The paper is tub sized, and loft,
air, or machine dried. The basis weights range
from 24 to 40 pounds (17 x 22).
Durability, toughness, and good surface for
writing are significant properties. (17 )
