Construction Paper





HOW CONSTRUCTION PAPER IS MADE

Wood chunks and hot water are mixed to form a mushy mixture called Pulp . Recycled paper is also added to make the pulp thicker and dye is then added to give it color. Then the pulp mixture is moved over a wire conveyor belt to remove the Water and as a result, the pulp becomes less shiny, less mushy and more like paper. The pulp is then moved over big heated barrels where the heat dries up remaining water and the pulp then becomes construction paper.
The paper is put into big rolls, where it is sent to a machine called a Feeder and is cut into large sheets. The sheets are then cut into smaller pieces and wrapped in plastic to be sold in stores. {Link without Title}


USE

Construction paper is commonly used by young schoolchildren for school art projects. As the paper comes in a wide range of colors, there is no need for users to color it themselves.

The paper is also used by artists and animators. The Animated Cartoon '' Blue's Clues '' and'' South Park '' was originally made using construction paper and Stop Motion . {Link without Title}
