English

Subject field(s)
  • Pulp and Paper
OBS

An aqueous suspension of one or more papermaking pulps and other material from the stage of disintegration of the pulp to the formation of the web or sheet of paper or board. NOTES 1) Also known in English as "stuff". 2) In French the word "pâte" is normally used unqualified as the equivalent of the English terms "pulp" and "stock". For this reason cross-references are inserted to the appropriate definition wherever necessary in this vocabulary. Particular attention is drawn to this as the distinction may be significant in certain circumstances.

Key term(s)
  • stuff

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pâtes et papier
OBS

(en cours de fabrication du papier ou du carton): Suspension aqueuse d'une ou plusieurs pâtes à papier et d'autres produits, depuis le stade de désintégration de la pâte jusqu'à la formation de la feuille de papier ou de carton. NOTES 1) En anglais, on utilise aussi le mot [stuff]. 2) En français, le mot [pâte] est normalement employé sans qualificatif, comme équivalent des termes anglais [pulp] et [stock]. C'est pour cette raison que, dans le présent vocabulaire, on a placé des renvois aux définitions appropriées chaque fois que cela est nécessaire. L'attention est particulièrement attirée sur ce point car, dans certains cas, la distinction a son importance.
