Results for tag: "Dissolving Wood Pulp"

The Dissolving Wood Pulp (DWP) market is a subset of the Pulp and Paper industry. It is a type of pulp made from wood fibers that are treated with chemicals to dissolve the lignin, which binds the fibers together. This process makes the fibers more suitable for use in the production of viscose rayon, acetate, and other specialty fibers. DWP is also used in the production of paper, paperboard, and tissue products. The demand for DWP is driven by the growth of the textile industry, as well as the increasing demand for specialty paper products. The production of DWP is highly energy-intensive, and the cost of production is affected by the availability of raw materials and the cost of energy. Some of the major companies in the DWP market include Sappi, Stora Enso, UPM, and Domtar. Other companies include Resolute Forest Products, Mercer International, and Fibria. Show Less Read more
