Synthetic paper, from its early
development and historical evolution, has typically
been manufactured using synthetic resin derived from
petroleum as its primary material. Naturally, this
has given it characteristics similar to those of
plastic film, but its appearance is remarkably
similar to that of regular paper made from wood
pulp. In addition, many synthetic papers have properties
similar to those of regular paper.
Although there is no precise definition of synthetic
paper, it is generally understood to be a product
manufactured using synthetic resin derived from petroleum
as its primary material, which while maintaining the
characteristics of the material, offers several qualities
similar to that of paper made primarily from wood pulp,
most typically its white and opaque appearance as well
as its printing and processing capabilities.
In recent years, however, synthetic papers that surpass
the above definition have emerged. For example, products
that combine regular paper and plastic film are known
as synthetic paper within the printing industry, and
the definition of synthetic paper has become extremely
imprecise. As a result, it has become common to refer
to individual product names rather than to use the catch-all
term synthetic paper. |
