What does KRAFT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
Strong, coarse paper or board made by the kraft process, a method of pulping wood using a sulfate chemical treatment.
The word kraft takes its name from the German and Swedish term for strength, reflecting how tough the resulting paper is compared with paper made by older pulping methods. Papermakers use the kraft process to break wood chips down into pulp with a sulfate solution, leaving long, strong fibres that resist tearing. The unbleached, brown kraft paper this produces is familiar as the material of shopping bags, parcel wrapping and heavy-duty envelopes. Bleached versions exist too, but the natural brown colour of kraft paper remains its most recognisable feature.
