High Purity Pulps: Testing, Accessibility and Reactivity

Manufacturers of cellulose derivative products use many specific pulp and cellulose tests in an effort to try to get uniform production from day to day operations. Since cellulose is used in a large number of ways, it is not possible to address each and every industry requirement. Instead, High Purity Pulps: Testing, Accessibility and Reactivity provides an understanding of overall cellulose and pulp properties to give the plant operating people, the lab technicians and the basic research and development personnel a better appreciation of their starting material’s virtues and limitations.

This booklet lists the types of technology and testing that converter companies can use to work with their respective pulp supplier to help assure that the incoming materials will react similarly from shipment to shipment. In particular, converters can use this guide to learn about accessibility measurement, which can also serve as quality control parameters. Soft Cover, 2003.
