About Kraft Pulp
Kraft pulp is a vital commodity in the paper and pulp industry, produced through the kraft process, which involves cooking wood chips under pressure in an alkaline solution. This method effectively removes lignin, resulting in strong, high-quality pulp suitable for papermaking. Kraft pulp is favoured for its strength, versatility, and ability to be bleached to produce white paper products. It finds applications in various paper products, including packaging, tissue, and printing papers. Major producers include countries with abundant forest resources such as the United States, Canada, and Sweden.
