Resumen
This work is part of a continuing sustained effort for increasing competitivity of Medium Paper as important part in the composition of corrugated paper by means of partial employment of alternative pulps, with special interest in the use of recycled paper and the fibers obtained from the Organosolv Process (etanol-water) based on cane sugar bagasse. The results of this work shows that a combination of 33% of Old Corrugated Container (OCC) and 67% of Organosolv pulp (1.5% Soda and high levels of alcohol) with Kappa Nr. 84.5 produces similar results in Concora Medium Test (CMT) 140.58 N (31.6 Ibf) to the ones obtained from the combination of 65% of OCC with 35% of Organosolv Pulp (1.5% Soda and low levels of alcohol) with Kappa Nr. 78.5.
