Domtar is the largest integrated marketer and manufacturer of uncoated freesheet paper and among the mostcost-competitive papermakers in North America. Domtar is working on the development of new products fromnew proprietary types of pulp and wants to use the pulp which they produce in excess by giving it a valueadded for the manufacture of new products. Trials will be done on a pilot scale refiner to determinefunctionality and optimum performance parameters for the manufacture of surface enhance pulp fibres withmechanical refining. Innofibre has the capability and the equipment to perform those trials and evaluation. Inaddition, Innofibre will work with Domtar on the development of new bioproducts with the use of the modifiedpulps. The properties of hardwood and softwood papermaking fibres will be changed in the near future and willbe very different to what we observe today. A number of fibre property combinations are theoretically possible,as well as the range of bioproducts that could be made with them. This represents a significant economicopportunity for Canada, given the abundance of the nation's forest biomass and forest sector commitment totransformation. Domtar must have innovative processes to produce high quality products. This is veryimportant to keep mills running and the associated jobs for many years to come.

Domtar是最大的非涂布免费纸的综合营销者和制造商，也是北美最具成本竞争力的造纸商之一。Domtar正在致力于从新的专有纸浆类型开发新产品，并希望通过为生产新产品增加附加值来利用他们生产的过剩纸浆。将在中试规模的磨浆机上进行试验，以确定机械磨浆生产表面增强纸浆纤维的功能和最佳性能参数。Innofibre拥有进行这些试验和评估的能力和设备。此外，Innofire将与Domtar合作开发使用改良纸浆的新生物制品。在不久的将来，硬木和软木造纸纤维的性质将会发生变化，与我们今天所观察到的将会有很大的不同。许多纤维特性组合在理论上是可能的，以及可以用它们制造的一系列生物制品。鉴于加拿大丰富的森林生物量和林业部门对转型的承诺，这对加拿大来说是一个重大的经济机遇。Domtar必须有创新的工艺来生产高质量的产品。这对于保持磨坊的运转和相关的工作岗位在未来的许多年里是非常重要的。
