International testing has proven that Nile Fiber™ fibers make a high quality commercial pulp. Nile Fiber™ pulp can be used for various paper products typically made from wood fibers, such as printing and writing paper, paperboard, packaging, tissue and toweling grades of paper, as well as molded products like paper plates, cups and trays.

Nile Fiber™ has a distinct advantage over other non-wood fibers because it can be processed in all types of existing chemical wood pulping facilities (Kraft, Sulfite, Soda and CTMP and TMP) without facility modifications. Our ongoing research and testing continue to uncover new cost- and time-saving technical procedures that are unique to the Nile Fiber™ pulping process, such as a lower bleaching requirement and less digestion time. This work is protected by multiple patents and patents pending worldwide.

In March 2002, The Nile Group, Inc. and Samoa Pacific successfully completed the first commercial Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) pulp run using 100% Nile Fiber™. The Nile Fiber™ pulp manufactured at the Samoa Pacific mill is the only non-wood Kraft TCF pulp processed in the Western Hemisphere.
