The concept of Wood Powder

Wood Powder is wood that is cut into small pieces and ground into a powder. Wood Powder is a clean, renewable and biodegradable raw material. Wood Powder is light, non-conductive, harmless to humans and can be produced at a very low cost.

To produce wood powder, people divide the tree into two parts:

• Tree core: The inner part of the wood, usually with a dense, smooth texture. This part will be used to make wood powder.
• Bark: The bark will be removed from the core when producing wood powder. Due to its different properties, the bark is not suitable for grinding into wood powder, instead it is often used as a fuel to provide heat for the wood powder production process.
  
• About size: Wood pulp is small in size, requiring more careful handling methods.
• About ingredients: Wood pulp is made only from the core of the tree trunk.
• About the type of wood: Depending on the application and usage, wood pulp can be ground from many different types of wood.
