Vegetable parchment paper, also known as sulphate paper, is a high-quality speciality paper that has been treated by a special process. It is made from ungummed cotton or chemical wood pulp and undergoes a sophisticated manufacturing process that includes sulphuric acid impregnation, which partially gels the fibres, followed by washing and drying. The final product has the appearance of traditional parchment - an ancient translucent writing material made from thinly scraped sheepskin - but is made entirely from plant fibres. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, this paper has shown great utility in a number of fields.
