Abstract
Kenaf stem consists two distinct fibers i.e. core and bast that are significantly different in nature and structure, and show different behavior during paper making process. The main objective of the present invention is to determine the suitability of fractionation as a new approach to use of kenaf for paper like production. The results showed that fractionation with making good opportunity to beating long fiber at higher PFI revolutions and better fibrillation significantly improved all paper properties of kenaf pulps except for tear index and produced sheet with better drainage and strength properties compared to beaten pulps especially in case of kenaf high kappa pulp. Moreover, the fractionated and recombined pulp improved OCC pulp properties with better drainage properties than beaten kenaf pulp. So, it can be considered as new approach to enchance kenaf whole stem pulp properties.
