Meaning of the carbon paper in Pulp and Paper Manufacture , second edition, volume II which has been described as follows : Carbon paper is made by coating paper with a mixture consisting principally of a wax and a pigment. The color is obtained from the pigment, usually a carbon black of low oil absorption, plus toners, usually lake pigments or oil-soluble dyes, which are added to increase the blackness. The wax, which acts as a binder for the pigment, must have a viscosity low enough to permit slight penetration into the paper, but not so low that the wax strikes through or sweats oil. Waxes with a melting point between 105 to 120 F. and a viscosity of about 60 or 70 Saybolt at 210 F. are generally used. The principal wax used is carnauba, although some ceresin, beeswax, candelilla, ozokerite, ouricury, and synthetic waxes are also used. Special grades of microcrystalline waxes may be added to soften the coating and improve the printing qualities. In addition to the above ingredients, non-drying oils (mineral oils) are used to soften the coating and control the amount of coating transferred to the copy. Oleic acid is sometimes used as a solvent for oil-soluble dyes....................................

McGraw-Hill Encyclopaedia of Science and Technology (Volume 13, page 75): Many excellent sheet materials made from synthetic polymers, derived from petroleum or natural gas, have displaced paper for many uses. Some are available for printing and writing as well as packaging, but usually such materials are substantially more costly than paper which is manufactured from renewable resources. The largest use for paper is in sheets of varied thickness called paper board, for packaging, followed by printing and writing papers and sanitary tissues. Substantial quantities of paper are impregnated with asphalt for use as roofing materials while other paper products are used as decorating materials, packaging materials, stamps, resin-impregnated laminates, and structural materials. The Encyclopaedia Americana (International Edition page 261) Paper: A matted or felted sheet of fibers-usually vegetable but sometimes mineral, animal, or synthetic-formed on a screen from a water suspension. The term paper is specifically limited to lighter weight, thinner, more flexible sheets formed in this manner. PARLE BISCUITS (P) LTD.
