After extensive development the Swedish pulp manufacturer Rottneros
Group now launches its new, improved High Yield Pulp, Opacity Extreme,
for thin packaging and printing paper, as well as special applications.
In addition to an extremely high opacity the product, produced at the
mill Rottneros Bruk, also has excellent strength properties and high
purity.
When it comes to thin packaging and printing papers, as well as a number
of special applications, the opacity is critical. Low light transmission
is required, for example, to ensure that prints will not be seen through
the paper sheet. Similarly, the purity of the pulp, the so-called low
shives content, is important in the manufacturing of thin paper.
The development of Opacity Extreme has been a team effort within
Rottneros Bruk, where Fredrik Danielsson, technical sales manager, has
been responsible for the development. Danielsson says Opacity Extreme
with its combination of excellent strength properties, high purity and
superior opacity is the leading product in the market for thin paper.
Olle Dahlin, CEO of Rottneros Bruk, says that the company now, with the
launch of Opacity Extreme, has a very complete and competitive product
range for High Yield Pulp, which includes everything from board and
tissue to thin packaging and printing paper.
This launch further strengthens the Rottneros Group’s offer. It is
another step within the framework of the Group’s strategy to position
the two mills, Vallviks Bruk and Rottneros Bruk, towards a high share of
specialized pulp.
