Drying Temperature and Hornification of Industrial Never-Dried Pinus radiata Pulps. 1. Strength, Optical, and Water Holding Properties

Hornification and changes in properties of bleached Pinus radiata pulps were studied for oven-dried pulps and compared to never-dried pulps. Evaluation of unrefined and PFI-refined pulps showed an increase in strength loss with high drying temperature. The tensile index was reduced by 40 to 55%, the...
