D21J FIBREBOARD; MANUFACTURE OF ARTICLES FROM CELLULOSIC FIBROUS SUSPENSIONS OR FROM PAPIER-MACHE (manufacture of articles by dry processes B27N)
Description
D21J covers the production of fibreboard and manufactured articles formed from cellulosic fibrous suspensions, including papier-mâché. This classification encompasses manufacturing processes such as wet-laying, pressing, drying, and bonding of cellulose fibers to create composite board materials or molded products. It includes technologies for controlling fiber distribution, density, and mechanical properties of the resulting boards and articles. Related processes in paper-making chemistry and pulp preparation are classified elsewhere in D21, while finished paper products themselves fall under different classifications.
