High porosity non-wood pulp

The non-wood pulps have a fiber length greater than about 1.70 mm and a porosity of about 100 cfm or greater. The relatively high degree of porosity is achieved without a loss in tensile strengths. The high degree of porosity and strength makes the pulps well suited for the manufacture of wet-laid fibrous products, particularly wet-laid tissue products. The pulps may be prepared from plants of the family Asparagaceae by mechanical pulping and more preferably by a chemi-mechanical pulping using a sodium hydroxide alkaline peroxide solution where the plant biomass is cut to size prior to pulping.

Supercalendered kraft paper comprising recycled fiber

The invention relates to a supercalendered Kraft paper production for a release liner, which contains both non-recycled bleached chemical pulps and recycled pulp produced from release liner supercalendered Kraft paper. When highly specific raw material is used for recycling, the characteristics of the recycled pulp may be adjusted already upon recycling. The recycled pulp obtained from supercalendered Kraft paper that has been used as a substrate of a release liner may be used without further refining for manufacturing supercalendered Kraft paper. Excessive refining can thus be avoided and the compatibility of the recycled pulp may be optimized for supercalendered Kraft paper production. The non-recycled pulps may be refined less, as well. This leads to positive effects in supercalendered Kraft paper manufacturing process, such as improved dewatering and energy efficient drying. The produced paper demonstrates reduced shrinkage and improved dimensional stability, while maintaining sufficient quality for use as a substrate for a release liner. A supercalendered Kraft paper with improved sustainability is produced.
