Rottneros, Stockholm, Sweden, has introduced newly developed High Yield Pulp for carton board, Bulk Booster. The product is already used in the commercial manufacturing of board qualities for packaging, and in a number of specialty applications.
Bulk Booster has been developed by Rottneros Bruk during the past year, and has been tested at full commercial scale at several carton board manufacturers. The product is a High Yield Pulp, which is produced in Rottneros production lines.
Bulk Booster's special feature is the increases of the bulk or thickness of the carton, in this aspect it is superior to other available products. This means that you get a thicker board for the same weight of raw material in the manufacturing process. This has significant advantages when it comes to optimizing production economy in carton board production. A moderate mixing with Bulk Booster can increase the bending stiffness in carton board with up to 30%, said Olle Dahlin, CEO at Rottneros Bruk who has visited many customers during the development period.
Rottneros CEO Per Lundeen commented that the two mills in Rottneros Group, Vallviks Bruk and Rottneros Bruk, with their specialized pulp has been successful in its market positioning towards more and more specialized products used in paper production for non-graphic products.
