Suspension characteristics The different hornification propensity of different pulp types is most obvious in water retention measurements. For example, the recycling experiments of Korpela1 show the typical behaviour of various pulp types. As discussed in article Differences between virgin and recycled fibre (Figure 3) the WRV of softwood and hardwood chemical pulps decreased considerably from
