APPLICATIONS

THE ROTTNEROS GROUP CHEMICAL PULP

SULPHATE PULP – STRONG AND CLEAN

13

• Wood yield ~ 50 %. The part of

the wood that does not consist of fibres generates energy. The mill is self-sufficient for steam, and almost self-sufficient for electricity.

• The wood is boiled in a chemical

liquid that separates the fibres from the rest of the wood substance.

• Raw material: spruce, pine

ROBUR FLASH

– HIGHEST QUALITY FOR SPECIALISED APPLICATIONS

• Robur Flash Strong
• Robur Flash High Porosity
• Robur Flash E-grade
