As a result of this investment, Domtar will launch this first-of-its-kind commercial-scale manufacturing facility for these new grades of northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) pulp.
This pulp can be used to produce writing- and specialty-grade papers, tissues and paper towels, as well as in non-traditional, growing and value-added markets such as fibre-reinforced materials, including cement and fibreglass. The use of modified fibres will also lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reducing the amount of fibre required to manufacture the products utilizing these new grades.
