It contains red and blue fibers, has a weight of 85 GSM (grams per square meter) making it only slightly more dense/ heavy that typical office copy paper, and has no optical brighteners. Although the paper itself is waterproof and acid-free, the toner/ ink used for the production of the notes on this paper may be dissolved or damaged using certain aprotic solvents.
