Eaton's Corrasable Bond
From Free net encyclopedia
Eaton's Corrasable Bond is a trademarked name for a brand of erasable typing paper. Erasable paper has a glazed or coated surface which is almost invisible, is easily removed by friction, and accepts typewriter ink fairly well. Removing the coating removes the ink on top of it, so mistakes can be easily erased—once. After erasure, the correction is typed onto an unprotected paper surface and cannot be easily erased a second time.
Because the coated surface does not absorb ink, typing on erasable paper is apt to smudge. And since the coating is intended to be easily removed by friction, the typed pages are not very durable. Under some storage conditions, the coating is apt to make pages stick together. Erasable paper is obviously not suitable for legal documents, nor for archival records: [1]
Eaton's Corrasable Bond was discontinued and is not available as of 2005, although erasable typing paper is available under other brand names, such as Esleeck's ClearErase® Bond.
In the United States, Eaton's Corrasable Bond was a very familiar brand of erasable typing paper during the 1950s and 1960s, and "corrasable" became almost a generic name for erasable typing paper. For example, in prohibiting the use of such paper for manuscript submissions, the Linguistic Society of America refers to "Eaton's 'Corrasable Bond' and similar brands."
Margareta Kaukonen has produced acrylic paintings on Corrasable Bond.
"Divorce or Corrasable Bond" is a poem by Daniela Gioseffi.[2]
