Transparent Tracing Paper is a semi-transparent paper. It is made by dipping uncut and unbound paper into high-quality sulfuric acid for a few seconds. The acid converts part of the cellulose into starch, which has a gelatinous and impermeable property. When the treated paper is thoroughly washed and dried, the resulting product is much more durable than the original paper. Tracing paper is resistant to grease and is largely water and airtight.
