Abstract

ABSTRACT Mazri beside it's traditional uses in making of various household and other utility articles, is also very rich in fibers. Studies on fiber characteristics like average fiber length, relative fiber length and Runkel ratio show that the fiber characteristics like average fiber length, relative fiber length and Runkel ratio show that the fibers from Mazri are suited for the production of pulp and paper of good quality. Mazri fibers being medium long can supplement hardwood and non-woody pulps as pulp furnish. At present low and scattered supplies and competition from traditional uses are the technical and economic constraints in it's utilization as a raw-material for pulp and paper.
