Cellulose (UKP) for fiber cement
Unbleached Kraft Pulp from New Zealand's pinus radiata (softwood)
The "Rolls-Royce" of natural fiber for your most advanced fiber cement products
Product
Our partner, based in New Zealand, is specialised in natural fibers for paper, cardboard, tissue and construction material industries. It has been working with the largest fiber cement manufacturers worldwide to create, process and refine natural pulp so that the final product fits exactly to the industry requirements: extremely long fiber, perfect lignin rate and optimised coarseness
Characteristics
Strength: The strength of your end product is directly linked with the length and the strength of the fiber. Our partner produces the longest and strongest natural fibers on the market thanks to their NZ endemic pine specie and the selection of the tree log's best parts
Longevity: Thanks to a special wood chips processing, the lignin rate in this premium fiber is optimal. The external lignin is removed as it hinders the bonding with the cementicious matrix. The internal lignin is kept as it preserves the fiber against crystallising. The fiber lasts and keeps its physical properties much longer
Highest quality: Our partner works with multinationals all around the world in many industries and has to respect very strict requirements (e.g., food industry requirements)
Specifications
Sustainability: Our Partner has a stainable management of their forests. It is FSC and PEFC certified and has a daily control of key environmental performance indicators
