Hurter, P. Eng., MBA, President, HurterConsult Incorporated, April 2002.</div> <bR> <div>  <a href="HTMLobj-898/nonwood_paper_2.pdf"><img align="bottom" border="0" width="153" height="17" alt="Nonwood Fiber Content Papers - Part 2: Unbleached Papers" src="HTMLobj-898/download_pdf_LG_LARGE.gif"></a>  (requires Adobe Reader).</div> <bR> <div> The data contained in the following table is from an excellent paper entitled "Industrial Experiences & Problems Involved In Stock Preparation & Papermaking Utilizing Non-Wood Fibrous Materials", written by D.K. Misra, Thessalian Pulp & Paper Industries Ltd., Larisa, Greece, and published in 1975 in the TAPPI Non-Wood Plant Fiber Pulping Progress Report No. 6.</div> <bR> <div> This data was developed from tests on commercially produced paper and paperboards which were available at the time. Some of this data likely is a little outdated due to advancements in paper machine design such as improvements in Fourdrinier drainage and the development of twin wire paper machines and no-draw press sections, all of which allow for a high nonwood fiber fraction in the furnish. Nevertheless, this actual mill data still offers a valuable insight into the potential use of nonwood fibers in papermaking.  </div> <bR> <div> Unfortunately, since this paper was presented, no one has undertaken a similar ambitious project to determine the characteristics of currently available nonwood fiber content papers. With the renewed interest in nonwood fibers for papermaking in North America and Europe, perhaps the time has come for a research organization to undertake such a project.</div> <bR> <div> The following table provides physical properties of <B>unbleached papers</B> produced from nonwood pulps. Even using pre-1975 technology, a few points to consider include:</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b7010411111100.png" HEIGHT="17" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">breaking length and tear factor of pasper produced using the selected nonwood fiber pulps are low compared to paper produced with 100% woodpulp, which is expected based on the properties of the nonwood pulps used</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b7010411111100.png" HEIGHT="17" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">sack papers produced with 34-35% <B>bagasse</B> pulp in the furnish register a lower breaking length compared to sack paper produced with 100% woodpulp. However, by increasing the basis weight of this paper by 10-15%, comparable values can be obtained. And, using a "Clupak" extensible unit significantly improves the overall strength properties of sack paper.  </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b7010411111100.png" HEIGHT="17" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Kraft paper produced from <B>bamboo</B> pulp has lower strength values compared to kraft paper produced with 100% conventional long fiber, unbleached kraft woodpulp. Various <B>bamboo</B> MF and MG kraft papers are produced in India and China mostly for wrapping and grocery bag purposes, and, for this requirement, the strength properties are reasonably acceptable. However, it should be noted that Misra's paper did not indicate the species of <B>bamboo</B> which were used in the papers tested.  Given the wide range of bamboo species which could be used (see <A HREF="bamboo.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Bamboo A Fiber Resource with Great Pote"><B>Bamboo</B></A>), it is concievable that properly selected species of <B>bamboo</B> would provide different, higher strength results for <B>bamboo</B> papers. It is worthwhile to note that three U.S.-based paper companies introduced lines of uncoated freesheet printing and writing papers during the 1990's using <B>bamboo</B> market pulps purchased from Asian locations, that some of the <B>bamboo</B> papers were produced using a 100% <B>bamboo</B> pulp furnish, and that these papers had  strength properties similar to woodpulp papers.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b7010411111100.png" HEIGHT="17" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">strength properties of MG kraft paper produced with 50% <B>wheat straw</B> pulp and with 70% <B>bagasse</B> pulp are favourably comparable to those produced with 100% kraft woodpulp</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b7010411111100.png" HEIGHT="17" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">strength properties of 100% <B>rice straw</B> kraft paper are low and this paper may have been acceptable for local markets only.
