In an effort to provide a more accurate tool for verifying wood fiber species composing a pulp and paper products, which can affect the properties of the products, a study was conducted to see whether each wood species’ fiber has distinctive and significant characteristics that can be used for such verification. The study was initiated by collecting fiber characteristics of wood species grown in Indonesia for making pulp and paper, such as Acacia mangium, Acacia crassicarpa and Eucalyptus pelita, and other alternative wood fiber species, including protected wood species.
