Vue d'ensemble

Scope of the Report

Pulp is a fibrous substance made from plant fibers through different processing methods, and is the main raw material of the paper industry. Coniferous pulp is pulp made from coniferous trees as raw materials. The leaves of coniferous trees are mostly tapered, and they are also called cork because of their soft texture, such as larch and spruce. Conifers mostly grow in middle and high latitudes, such as North America, Northern Europe, Russia, Chile and other regions and countries. Coniferous trees have the characteristics of long growth cycle (20-25 years), long fiber length and light core material. Kraft wood pulp uses a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide as a cooking agent. During the cooking process, because the action of the chemical liquid is relatively gentle, the fibers are not strongly eroded, so they are strong and strong. The paper produced has excellent folding, breaking and tearing strength.

Global key Bleached Kraft Softwood Pulp players cover Crofton, Cariboo, UPM, HOWE SOUND, Mercer Celgar, etc.
