| READY-TO-USE PULP | Our Ready-To-Use pulps are processed in our Hollander Beater to your specifications. Each 5 gallon pail contains one beater load, approx. 2 lbs. of dry fiber. Ready-To-Use Pulps are ideal for large quantities of pulp for teaching, or when a Hollander Beater is unavailable to you. A well beaten pulp allows the fibers to create more hydrogen bond sites which results in a stronger paper. We drain off any excess water, so the pulp is shipped to you in a very concentrated form - just add water and use. For best results, use your pulp immediately. or freeze - unused pulp will keep indefinitely if frozen. Refrigeration or the addition of isopropyl alcohol will help ward off fermentation. We can add Sizing or Methyl Cellulose to the Ready-To-Use mix, at your request. We also make overbeaten Ready-To-Use Pulp for pulp painting. Please specify pulp & the beating type you prefer. Weight per 5 gallon pail is approximately 30 lbs. Shipping via UPS only. Sorry, no U.S. Postal Service available for 5 gallon pails. Please let us know your needs as far in advance as possible - some periods are very busy for us!! | CLICK HERE FOR A PRICING TABLE |
