Note : - The α-cellulose in recent SCHWEIGHOFER pulp is increase than to previous pulp and marginally less than to SAPPI pulp
- Compare to previous pulp,the lower values of S10 - S18 in recent Schweighofer pulp indicates presence of less degraded short
chain carbohydrate which ultimately affects on filterability.
- As compare to SAPPI and previous pulp sample, the viscosity of recent Schweighofer pulp is deteriorated, but still with in
acceptable range like other dissolving grade pulps.
