Abstract

Rumput Menderong (Scirpus grossus) an aquatic plant is a potential source for pulp and paper. Fibres are short (0. 98 mm) and slender (10.61), the alpha cellulose, pentosans and lignin content are 30.7, 20.4 and 12.3%, respectively. Physical properties are comparable to other established pulps such as bagasse. Unbleached pulp has potential for making wrappings, bag and liner boards either wholly or as blends, with other long fibre pulps.
