Benefits of UPM Betula northern bleached hardwood kraft pulp

 

Savings in energy costs

UPM Betula requires relatively little refining energy to reach optimum performance. It offers the greatest possibilities in products that would normally require a lot of refining.

Savings in raw material costs

You can substitute softwood pulp with UPM Betula and still reach good strength values and a compact structure.

Exceptionally low porosity

Barrier papers such as food wrappers that require low porosity levels are especially good fit for UPM Betula.

 

Northern birch pulp made to perfection

UPM Betula fibres are short and thin-walled, providing very high tensile strength for several paper applications. Birch fibres are longer than eucalyptus pulp’s, yet shorter than in softwood pulp. 

Birch has a high hemicellulose content compared to many other pulp grades, giving fibres natural stiffness, strength and easy refinability. 

UPM Betula is a bright, premium grade fibre which requires very low refining energy. It rapidly develops tensile strength, bonding, high density and very low porosity
