Distribution...	Brazil Argentina South Africa
Fibre Types...	The fibre from Brazil is predominately based on E.grandis which comes from plantation grown "cloned trees", harvested for pulping in 6-7 years. Small quantities of other eucalyptus species may be present such as E.saligna, E. europhylla, and E. alba.
Fibre Properties...	Fibre Length 0.8-1.0mm Fibre Width 14-16µm Wall Thickness 3.0-3.5µm Fibre Coarseness 80-85µg/m

Typical Pulp Properties...   Only bleached ECF pulp is available. E. grandis has a lower density (500kg/cm3) compared to E. globulus (700kg/cm3)and requires less refining energy to reach the same Schopper Reigler. At the same wetness, E.grandis has the advantage of producing a higher opacity and a smoother sheet.

Typical Uses...   Eucalyptus grandis can be used in a similar way to E. globulus. E. grandis finds applications in coated and uncoated printing and writing papers, were it provides smoothness, opacity and a good formation. In the tissue sector it is used in facial tissue, to provide tactile softness and in speciality grades, such as photographic papers, it can be used to give a high opacity and paper stiffness
