pulveroinnilla

Pulveroinnilla is a Finnish type of powder made from grindings of various wood pulp or paper residue. It is often mixed with other materials such as sugar or chalk to produce a paving material. The powder can be compressed to form a solid surface, used for application on footpaths, sidewalks, and streets. Compacting the powder creates a durable, permeable, and relatively quiet surface.

The use of pulveroinnilla as a paving material began in the mid-20th century in Finland. At that time, there was a demand for alternative materials to traditional paving materials. The development of the pulveroinnilla process made it an attractive option due to its economic and environmental benefits.

The production process of pulveroinnilla involves collecting various wood pulp or paper waste and then grinding it into a fine powder. The resulting material is then mixed with other substances such as sugar or chalk to improve its strength and durability. When mixed with other materials, pulveroinnilla is compressed to form a solid surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic.

Researchers have shown that pulveroinnilla has several benefits over traditional paving materials. For one, it is more environmentally friendly due to its use of recycled materials. Additionally, it is also relatively quiet, as the wood fiber material can dampened noise caused by passing footsteps. As an alternative paving material, pulveroinnilla offers unique benefits and could play a larger role in the future if its use was to spread beyond regional applications.
