Microscopic analyses for the evalution of defibration effects

Microscopic methods to evaluate defibration effects are usually manual or semi-manual. These include:

• Dislocations in the fiber wall of chemical pulp
• External fibrillation
• Internal fibrillation (Simons staining)
• Curl and kinks (semi-manual or Kajaani FS 300 analyzer)
• Fiber damage classification (EWNN swelling/dissolution)
• Calculation of bands
• Fiber stiffness and flexibility (Steadman or TD&K)
• Contact ratio
• Fiber morphology and fine structure of surface utilizing SEM
• Fiber-level kappa number

We also offer different kinds of analyses packages tailored in accordance with customer's needs.
