Market Pulp

Wood pulp is a major intermediate product used to make a variety of end products, such as printing and writing paper, and bathroom and facial tissue. Depending on the grade, it provides a range of bulk, strength and porosity properties, among others. G.A. Paper works with a large variety of grades, to meet the needs and quality requirements of the end-users.

All plant material are basically consist of cellulose fiber, hemicellulose and lignin, which bind cellulose fibers together. Pulping is nothing but breaking/removing lignin to separate fibers. Below is a breakdown of the variety of pulps.

1. Based on Pulping Process

Fully Mechanical (GW, PGW, RMP)
Mechanical & Thermal (TMP)
Semi-mechanical, semi-chemical (CTMP)
Semi chemical (NSSC, Cold Soda)
Fully Chemical (Sulfite, sulfate)
Soft Cook Fully Chemical (Rayon, viscose)

2. Based on Raw MaterialWood (HW, SW)

Agricultural Residue (Straws)
Annual Plants & Grasses (Hemp, Jute, Kenaf, Bamboo)
Rags
Recycled or secondary Fiber
Deinked

3. Based on Bleaching

Totally Chlorine Free (TCF)
Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF)
Chlorine Bleaching (Chlorine gas & Hypochlorite)
Oxygen/Ozone Bleached.
Unbleached

4. Based on Yield

Very High Yield (>95%) – GW, PGW
High Yield (85-95%) - RMP, TMP
Medium High Yield (65-85%) – CTMP, NSSC, CMP
Medium Yield (45-65%) – (Sulfite, Sulfate)
Medium Low Yield (35-45%) Straw, Grass, Bagasse chemical pulp
Low Yield (<35%) – Rayon, viscose

5. Based on Fiber Length

Long Fiber Pulp (>10mm) – Cotton, Hemp, Flax, Jute
Medium Fiber Pulp (2 – 10mm) – Northern S/W, H/W
Short Fiber Pulp (< 2mm) – Tropical H/W, straws, grasses
