First industrial scale foam forming research environment for forest sector
VTT invests to new sustainable and added value fibre-based products for the forest sector Foam forming technology gives exciting opportunities to develop new recyclable and light weight wood fiber products. It also gives a possibility to decrease raw material and production costs remarkably compared to recent technology. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, together with industry has started setting up a new pilot scale technology platform for foam forming applications.With foam forming technology it is possible to improve paper properties and enable to manufacture high porosity,
