Process Introduction
Same acid‑free high‑viscosity beating process (≥90°SR) as 50g, with slightly higher refining intensity to maintain transparency while boosting tear resistance. Light pressing to avoid crushing, primary drying at low temperature, semi‑dry soft calendering, and surface sizing with formaldehyde‑free biological glue. Final moisture balanced at 6‑8% to ensure dimensional stability.
