Baumwollpapier
Baumwollpapier, also known as cotton paper or rag paper, is a paper made from cotton linters or rags. Cotton linters are a byproduct of cotton processing, consisting of short cellulose fibers that remain after the longer fibers are removed for textile production. Traditionally, high-quality paper was made from linen and cotton rags, which contributed to its durability and longevity.
The process involves pulping these cotton fibers, mixing them with water, and then forming them into sheets.
