Selluloosatuotteet

Selluloosatuotteet are products derived from cellulose, a natural polymer that is the main structural component of plant cell walls. Cellulose is a renewable and abundant resource, making cellulose-based products a significant part of various industries. The process of creating cellulose products typically involves extracting cellulose from plant sources like wood pulp or cotton.

Common selluloosatuotteet include paper and cardboard, which are manufactured by processing cellulose fibers into sheets. Textiles made from regenerated cellulose, such as rayon, viscose, and lyocell, are also widely used. These fibers are created by dissolving cellulose and then reforming it into threads. Other applications of cellulose derivatives are found in the food industry as thickeners and stabilizers, and in pharmaceuticals as binders and excipients in tablets. Furthermore, cellulose is used in the production of cellophane, a transparent film, and in various specialty chemicals. The versatility and biodegradability of cellulose make it an attractive material for sustainable product development.
