High-Temperature Thermomechanical Pulp (HTMP) from Germany
HTMP applies higher steaming temperatures (160°C+) before refining for improved fiber separation and energy efficiency in softwood pulp for packaging grades. Mechanical process defines its high yield. Covered by HTS 4701.00.00.00 for all TMP variants.
