kuidunmuunnokset
Kuidunmuunnokset refers to the processes by which different types of fiber, such as paper or textile fibers, are transformed or modified. This can involve chemical treatments, mechanical processes, or a combination of both to alter the fiber's properties for specific applications. For instance, in papermaking, mechanical pulping separates fibers from wood, while chemical pulping removes lignin to achieve higher purity. These initial steps are considered forms of kuidunmuunnokset.
Further modifications can include bleaching to whiten the fiber, sizing to improve water resistance, or coating
