Factors Affecting Fiber Characteristics in Pulp, 2000 Pulping / Process & Product Quality Conference Proceedings

P. Sutton, C. Joss, B. Crossely--Mechanical action at consistencies greater than 10% in mill processes can greatly increase fiber curl and kink. The significance of fiber curl and kink on paper properties is well documented in the literature. This joint study between GLV and OpTest demonstrates that disintegration is very effective at removing fiber curl and kink. Therefore, when studying how fiber curl and kink impacts paper properties it is important not to disintegrate the pulp. This article also reviews recent literature covering the many of the factors which increase and decrease the amount of curl and kink in pulp fiber. How fiber length and coarseness impact paper properties is also discussed.
