Superior bulk

SCA Star is world leading in bulk with a strong environmental profile and the grades are manufactured with varying brightness levels. Our own developed HT technology provides opportunities to produce pulp qualities with several unique properties such as low shives content with lower freeness. Quality is a key word throughout the value chain, from the choice of suitable wood raw material to the preparation of the finished pulp. The pulp is delivered flash dried. An appreciated advantage of the flash-dried bales is that they can be delivered without bale wires. The metal wire is then replaced with a water-soluble adhesive which facilitates the handling of bales before dissolution.

SCA Star is a custom-tailored pulp with unique bulk that provides high bending stiffness in packaging and improved absorption in tissue products. It is the leading alternative for customers with high environmental demands requiring eco labels such as the Nordic Swan or FSC certification. Star has unique product properties, for both softwood and hardwood pulps, as a result of our patented HT technology.

Offers superb volume absorption

One of the largest product areas for SCA Star is tissue. The demand for raw material for tissue depends entirely on the type of end product to be manufactured. We have refined Star and developed customized products aimed at the tissue segment. Star from spruce, contorta and birch have proven to be well suited for tissue manufacturing. Star Birch is distinguished by its properties of high brightness and lower age yellowing compared with Star from spruce or contorta. The short fiber length in Star Birch can also contribute to better formation and greater softness. Star is highly suitable for a series of different special applications. Some areas in which high bulk is appropriate are filter paper, insulation and other types of products where airy products are to be manufactured.
