Abstract

This research was performed with the goal of using neutral sulfite semi chemical pulp (NSSC) from populous instead of all or part of MWPI’s NSSC pulp for producing fluting paper. Firstly, NSSC pulp was prepared from populous species and hardwood sawdust under the mill’s cooking conditions. Then, the two mentioned pulp samples were replaced with the mill’s NSSC pulp in a variety of mixing ratios. Next, handsheets with 120 g/m2 were produced of mixed pulps and the properties were measured. The results showed that both raw materials could supply the pulp properties in acceptable way in comparison with control pulp (NSSC pulp of Mazandaran mill).
