Properties of mixture of hemp bast and softwood pulp for filter paper manufacture.

The objective of this study was to investigate the morphological and chemical properties of hemp bast RPF1 variety fiber to be used as a potential raw material for filter paper production. Experimental handsheet samples with basis weight of 20 g/m were manufactured using mixture of hemp and softwood pulp at various beating levels. The average fiber length and width of hemp bast fiber were determined as 5.
