Wood pulp is made from wood fibers from the xylem of wood. Wood pulp is roughly categorized into two types: needle leaf (softwood) and broad leaf (hardwood). Softwoods include the fir and pine tree families, and hardwood include eucalyptus, beech, birch, maple, willow, and rose apple families. In general, softwood tend to have long fibers, and the products made from long fibers tend to be stronger than those made from short fibers. Regarding the wood materials used in papermaking industry as raw material, due consideration is given to the global environment because waste needle leaf tree materials from lumbermills are utilized in a large portion and broad-leaf trees are planted in a systematic manner as tree-planting business.

Non-wood pulp is made from seed fibers from vegetable seeds as well as bast fibers contained in the peel or stem. They have received a lot of attention as environmentally friendly materials and are available in the following types: cotton linter pulp made from linter (short fibers attached to cotton seed), hemp pulp (it can be categorized into several types depending on the type, characteristics and production area), bagasse pulp made from sugar cane trash, and kenaf pulp made from kenaf (a malvaceae).

Since this material is in fibrous form, it is also effective as inorganic binder. This material has a large surface area and superior adsorptive property. Therefore, it is suitable for the adsorption to and deodorization of the substances with small molecular weight and polarity, such as water, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide.

Although potassium titanate fibers have needle crystals, it can have different crystal structures depending on the process of manufacture. The physical and chemical properties differ depending on the structure. When the fiber diameter is at submicron level, the strength of fiber is expected to increase significantly. This material is characterized by extremely low heat thermal conductivity and high electrical insulation properties in the high temperature range. Depending on the type of crystal structure, some are chemically active or have positive ion exchange performance. Through the use of such properties, this material is applied to heat and electric insulating materials as well as filters.

Ceramic fiber is a general term for artificial inorganic fiber that consists mainly of alumina and silica. Although the removal of granular shots that could not turn into fibers (non-fibrous granule) due to its process of manufacture is a bottleneck, this material is lightweight and flexible with superior heat insulation and resistance properties to withstand temperatures of 1000°C and higher as normal service temperatures. Therefore, it is used for sealing, packing, heat insulating, heat retention materials, and filters.

Gibbsite has the general molecular structure of aluminum hydroxide. The temperature of decomposition of crystal water is approximately 270°C, and this is similar to the initial combustion temperature of organic materials, such as pulp. Therefore, adding this material to paper for the endoergic reaction at the crystal decomposition temperature creates flame-resistant paper. In addition, since its surface electric charge is cationic, this material is fixed firmly to pulp in the water because it is anionic.
