Södra Gold

Softness and strength, close to the source

The raw material in Södra gold is hardwood, which has shorter fibres than softwood. The advantage of these short birch fibres is that they combine good formation properties with excellent tensile and Z-strength. These fibres will also create a very soft sheet if required.
