In recent years, Kruger has invested millions in technology based on cellulose filaments (CF). Since, the abilities of this new bio-based product to increase the strength of several paper products were confirmed. In 2014, Kruger and his new division, Kruger Biomaterials, even built the first demonstration plant in the world to produce these filaments. Currently, Kruger Biomaterials CF product is only available in super bags at low solid content so an important part of the bag weight is water. Dehydration of the CF while maintaining the ability to remoisturize them without losing their reinforcement power will be an important advantage, especially in a context of exportation or long-term conservation. Manufacturing a thin film from could match the most elegant way to dry the CF while providing another additional opportunity: to design new materials by exploiting the CF film properties, alone or by laminating it with other paper products. Kruger has a need to perform trials on a pilot paper machine in order to determine functionality and optimum performance parameters for the manufacture of CF film with a conventional paper machine. Innofibre has the capability and the equipment to perform those trials and studies. The CF film offers to Kruger the opportunity to supply its 21 mills and sales offices in North America. Kruger will reinforce its competitive position against other similar plants in the world by value added obtained with the use of CF. Kruger sees also a good opportunity for Canada to take the lead in this technology.

近年来，科禄格在基于纤维素长丝（CF）的技术上投入了数百万美元。此后，这种新型生物基产品提高多种纸制品强度的能力得到了证实。 2014 年，克鲁格和他的新部门克鲁格生物材料甚至建造了世界上第一座生产这些长丝的示范工厂。目前，克鲁格生物材料 CF 产品仅提供低固体含量的超级袋，因此袋子重量的重要组成部分是水。 CF 脱水同时保持重新湿润而不失去其增强能力的能力将是一个重要的优势，特别是在出口或长期保存的情况下。制造薄膜可以与最优雅的 CF 干燥方式相匹配，同时提供另一个额外的机会：通过单独利用 CF 薄膜特性或将其与其他纸制品层压来设计新材料。克鲁格需要在中试造纸机上进行试验，以确定使用传统造纸机制造 CF 薄膜的功能和最佳性能参数。 Innofibre有能力和设备来进行这些试验和研究。 CF 薄膜为科禄格提供了为其北美 21 家工厂和销售办事处供货的机会。科禄格将通过使用 CF 获得附加值，从而增强其相对于世界上其他类似工厂的竞争地位。克鲁格还认为加拿大在这项技术方面处于领先地位是一个很好的机会。
