Abstract
A novel method is introduced for evaluation of the
quality of fiber material. The method proposes a new
parameter, the Fiber Integrity value. The approach is
based on the fact that the strength potential of the
material is of primary importance, and only sufficient
strength level makes it possible to optimize other
quality properties. The Integrity value is defined by a
simple equation using parameters that are measurable at
mill with current or emerging technology. The
applicability of the Integrity value was tested using
industrial samples from several mills. Also the effect of
deinking and screening on the Integrity value was
studied. The results show that together with the bonding
factor the Integrity value correlates well with several
strength values of paper, and thus the value has
considerable potential in evaluating the quality of
recycled fiber material.
