Pulp is the new possibility

The pulp, which is produced from Moorim P&P’s integrated mill,
has a lot of value of use not only for manufacturing paper but also for the use of new material.
There is an active research ongoing to replace chemical-based products into natural ingredient, the wood pulp

CNF
  • Nanoscale cellulose fibers with the width or length of less than 100nm
  • Has a wide range of applications due to its properties such as renewability, biodegradability, and useful characteristics, such as hydrophilicity and water retention
  • Application moisturizing cosmetics, film, packaging material for food and medicine
