Cellulose, which accounts for about half
the content of wood, and hemicellulose components have long been used
as the raw materials of paper and pulp. Our dissolving pulp has been
widely used particularly as the raw material of rayon and cellophane,
because it is produced by sulfite pulping, further enhancing cellulose
purity. |
|
Our pulp is also of high whiteness, since hemicellulose
and lignin content is low, and not only is it used as an important
raw material of CMC (Carboxymethyl cellulose) and other cellulose
derivatives, as well as the base material of heat hardened resins
(mainly urea and melamine resin molding material), because it is ideal
for using as a chemically transformed raw material, but it is also
widely used as papermaking pulp (specialty paper). |
|
Cellulose is a high polymer compound made up of
the three elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It is an environmentally
friendly substance, because it is a carbohydrate like starch and sugar. |

|
The structure of cellulose is a long chain of units
of glucose. |

| Viscose rayon |
Types of viscose rayon include
not only regular rayon and high tenacity rayon but also polynosic
rayon (for clothing), and each comes in the form of rayon staples
or rayon filaments. Pulp of higher cellulose purity is used
for high quality filaments and polynosic rayon than for staples. |
| Cellophane |
While rayon is made by extruding
viscose through spinnerets to form thin strands, cellophane
is made by extruding viscose through a long narrow slit to solidify
and reconvert the viscose into a film. |
| Molding materials |
Pulp is used as a filler for plastic
urea and melamine resin products, and the finished products
are widely used in electrical machinery parts, tableware, toys,
and other products. |
| Cellulose derivatives |
As a raw material of cellulose derivatives, pulp is used in CMC (Carboxylmethyl cellulose), MC (Methyl cellulose), HPC (Hydroxy propyl cellulose), HEC (Hydroxy ethyl cellulose), etc. Cellulose powder is pulp that has undergone acid hydrolysis, been mechanically disintegrated and made into fine powder. |
| Specialty paper |
Since our pulp is produced by
sulfite pulping and is highly refined, it is a product of high
whiteness with few impurities. Making using of these features,
our pulp is used widely in specialty paper-related products
such as filter paper and vulcanized fiber. |
