What are the major differences between Rayoniers specialty cellulose fibers (also known as chemical cellulose), and fluff pulps?
Chemical cellulose fibers are typically dissolved in, or reacted with, chemicals to produce highly purified cellulose (or cellulose derivatives) that can then be used for hundreds of products or product additives. They are typically very pure cellulose fibers. Fluff pulps are typically softwood fibers that are bleached white and have carefully controlled sheet physical characteristics, which enable converters to defiberize them and air convey the loose fibers into an absorbent core of diapers, incontinent products or feminine hygiene products. The fluff fibers may be used alone, or in combination with superabsorbent polymers, synthetic materials or other components, to construct a final consumer product.
