UNBLEACHED PULP PRODUCT AND THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING THE SAME

The present invention relates to an unbleached pulp product comprising of an unbleached pulp， starch and nanocellulose consisting of nanofibrils and the process of producing the same. The unbleached pulp product has a nanocellulose concentration of between 0.1 wt% to 8.0 wt% and a starch concentration of between 0.1 wt% to 8.0 wt% based on the overall weight of the composition. The nanocellulose is derived from various lignocellulosic biomass such as empty fruit bunches of oil palm and any other suitable lignocellulosic biomass. The nanocellulose is added with starch to a corrugating medium pulp at a prescribed concentration and ratio. The composition is then converted into various pulp products such as molded pulp products， paperboard， coreboard， containerboard， corrugating medium， cardboard， linerboard， board liner or any other structural products. In an embodiment， the unbleached pulp may first be converted into various unbleached pulp products. The surface of the produced products is then further coated with the mixture of nanocellulose and starch. The prescribed ratio of the nanocellulose and starch in the composition or coated on the surface of the pulp products enhances the strength of the unbleached pulp and products produced using the same unbleached pulp.
