Modified hardwood and softwood pulp fiber for innovative products

Domtar是北美最大的非涂布纸综合营销商和制造商，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利类型的纸浆开发新产品，并希望使用纸浆，他们生产过剩，使其增值的新产品的制造。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有能力和设备进行这些试验和评估。此外，Innofibre将与Domtar合作，利用改性纸浆开发新的生物产品。在不久的将来，硬木和软木造纸纤维的性能将发生变化，与我们今天所观察到的有很大的不同。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生物产品的范围。这对加拿大来说是一个重要的经济机会，因为该国森林生物量丰富，林业部门致力于转型。Domtar必须拥有创新的工艺来生产高质量的产品。这对保持米尔斯工厂的运行和相关的工作在未来的许多年是非常重要的。

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.
