MIXED PULP
Mixed Pulp: The Balanced Fiber Solution for Tissue and Paper Products
What is Mixed Pulp?
Mixed pulp is a blend of fibers sourced from various raw materials such as virgin wood pulp, recycled pulp, bamboo pulp, or other plant-based fibers. This hybrid approach combines the strengths of different fibers to optimize product performance, cost-efficiency, and sustainability.
By tailoring the fiber composition, manufacturers can produce tissue and paper products with enhanced softness, strength, absorbency, and environmental benefits. Mixed pulp is widely used across a broad range of products including toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, and facial tissues to meet diverse consumer and commercial needs.
Key Benefits of Mixed Pulp
Optimized Performance
Combining fibers creates a balance of softness, strength, and absorbency suited for specific product requirements.
