Georgia-Pacific Cellulose has announced a significant expansion in its softwood pulp offering. With the launch of its new unbleached southern pine pulp, specifically designed for fiber cement applications with modified Kappa and cleanliness, the company seeks to provide its customers with an innovative, high-quality alternative. This new offering has received praise for its unique fiber characteristics, which opens the door to explore further opportunities for its UKP product in this sector.
In addition, the company has identified a new application for its southern softwood kraft pulp, this time in the growing market for electrical insulating papers in developed countries. It is committed to meeting the growing demands of its customers in this sector by offering a reliable, long-term supply of competitive, quality raw materials for products such as transformer boards and separator paper.
In the field of disposable hygiene products, Georgia-Pacific Cellulose introduces Envirocel™, an oxygen delignified unbleached lint pulp, as a sophisticated, ready-to-use alternative to traditional bleached lint grades. Studies have shown that, in a direct substitution, this new pulp offers equivalent performance to the company’s Golden Isles® fluff pulp while reducing carbon footprint.
In its statement, Georgia-Pacific Cellulose reaffirms its commitment to work closely with its customers to identify and meet their UKP Fluff pulp needs across all application areas, demonstrating its continued dedication to innovation and excellence in raw material sourcing.
