    Our Market Pulp Portfolio

    Softwood Pulp

    Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK)
    We produce NBSK pulp at the Saint Félicien (Quebec) mill. This long-fiber pulp, made from black spruce and jack pine, is well-known for providing exceptional strength with minimal refining. NBSK pulp is favored for use in manufacturing premium tissue and towel grades, as well as printing, writing and specialty papers.

    Fluff Pulp

    Resolute’s Coosa Pines mill, located in Alabama, produces fluff pulp from loblolly pine. The inherent characteristics and consistency of its fibers create the uniformity, integrity, absorbency and wicking capabilities required for making high-quality absorbent and specialty products. Our fluff pulp offering ranges from highly absorbent, untreated grades to a fully treated grade where core uniformity and appearance are critical.

    Recycled Pulp

    Our recycled bleached kraft (RBK) pulp is a fully dried, green alternative that is produced at our world-class de-inking mill in Menominee (Michigan). Valued for its high quality and performance, RBK pulp is used to make a variety of paper products, including tissue, coated and uncoated papers, and specialty and packaging applications. The superior quality of the pulp allows papermakers to add post-consumer furnish to their products, while maintaining the demanding performance characteristics that their customers have come to expect.
