Anatomy and suitability of Mazri (Nannorrhops ritchiana, Griff.) for pulp and paper as based on fiber characteristics
Mohammad Ayaz
ABSTRACT
Mazri beside it's traditional uses in making of various
household and other utility articles, is also very rich
in fibers. Studies on fiber characteristics like average
fiber length, relative fiber length and Runkel ratio
show that the fiber characteristics like average fiber
length, relative fiber length and Runkel ratio show that
the fibers from Mazri are suited for the production of
pulp and paper of good quality. Mazri fibers being
medium longcan supplement hardwood and non-woody pulps as pulp furnish. At present low and scattered supplies and competition from traditional uses are the technical and economic constraints in it's utilization as a raw-material for pulp and paper.
