Abstract

The carbon-wax coating is removed from carbon paper by sequentially immersing the coated paper in hot aqueous baths, the paper being squeeze-dried prior to immersion in each bath after the first. Ultrasonic vibrations are applied to the first bath to mutually separate the individual pieces of the paper.
