As most paper is made from trees, a typical piece of paper is composed mostly of cellulose wood fibers. These fibers are reinforced and fused by strong hydrogen bonds.

When paper gets wet, however, those bonds are damaged and the fibers separate more easily. In turn, the paper becomes weak and tears.

Even a thick stack of paper can tear easily when wet! Why does this happen? Because water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen and its molecules tend to fuse with the bonds in wood fibers.

To many this natural occurrence is not an issue. But for suppliers who use paper to produce a range of consumer products like maps, menus, brochures, etc., that may face contact with water, this poses problems.

Rather than businesses investing a yearly investment in products such as this, why not find an application that lasts?
