Q1.What is paper?
A1. Paper is plant fibers and other fibers that were treated mechanically in water for fibrillation on the fiber surface so as to increase the binding force of the fibers, and then added with various compounds to turn into a thin plate that are dried later in order to restore the elasticity of the fibers.
Q2. When was paper invented?
A2. It is widely accepted that paper was invented in 105 AD by Chairoon who lived in Shiansi Province, China. There is no dissenting opinion about the inventor, however, some scholars argue that the timing of the invention is much earlier.
Q3. Why should ASPEX products be used?
A3. Fiber is separated from plant (so called virgin pulp) to be made into paper, however, with the more concern about the environmental matters in recent days, increasing number of factories producing paper with recycled pulp from the waste paper. In preparation of this trend, ASPEX has made papers wholly from the recycled waste paper to be an environment-friendly factory. Thus it can be said that it is the first step toward the protection of the environment.
Q4. Why recycling ?
A4. The environmental concerns such as warming of the earth, abnormal weathers, and the extension of desert have become the issue for all of the people on the earth, not of others. It is widely recognized that to make the virgin pulp from cut trees is a cause of the destruction of the earth. In this respect, it is an assignment for all the people involved in paper manufacturing to spearhead the environmental protection by developing the technologies to make paper from the recycled waste paper.
Q5. What are the characteristic features of newsprint paper?
A5. As newsprint paper is thin (42.5 ~ 48.8 gsm) and is put into the high speed rotary press in roll, its strength property, moisture and thickness profile shall be excellent, and especially with the increased use of color pint in recent years, color adaptability is also needed. This makes the importance of the opacity and surface strength becomes all the more significant. The trend is that a shift is being made from natural pulp to DIP, in which how the problem of more dots, one of the shortfalls of DIP pulp as compared to virgin pulp, shall be overcome in mechanical and chemical ways.
