| lignin |
A chemically complex substance found in many plants that bonds the cellulose fibers. Lignin can be largely removed during pulping, but the cost of low-lignin papers is higher than than that of high-lignin or groundwood papers. Lignin is believed to contribute to the degradation of both papers and photographs.
