(though I can tell you that about 5% of the remainder is definitely a mixture of starch, bleach, and red and blue yarn fibers.) approx lb rating of 22.

(Crane & Co) The "paper" is moistened before going through the 40,000 lb PSI press, which actually applies enough force to change the very characteristics of the paper. (making it thinner)
