Made from high-purity cotton linters, our bleached cotton linter pulp is ideal for manufacturing high-grade paper, pharmaceuticals, and specialty cellulose products. It offers exceptional whiteness, uniform texture, and excellent absorbency.
They are highly purified short cotton fibers, obtained from cottonseed linters through a bleaching and purification process. They are valued for their high cellulose content (up to 99%), low ash, and uniform whiteness, making them ideal for high-grade cellulose applications.
Refers to the short fibers that remain on the cottonseed after the longer fibers (lint) have been removed during the ginning process. Linters are removed in one or two cuts.
