Description

Vegetable matter reduced to pulp.

Shipped in pressed bales either dry or wet and used for paper products. Bales of woodpulp may distend up to 50% of their volume which can cause bowing of the container.

Stow in a clean dry container and avoid contamination from other cargoes which could result in a loss in value. It is recommended to use dunnage under the bales for drainage and fork-truck handling. After stuffing, the bales must be covered with kraft paper to prevent contamination.

See BC Code for wood-pulp in bulk.
