The kraft pulping process, or simply kraft or sulfate process (spelling, sulphate in the U.K. and older literature) is a preeminent industrial process for conversion of wood into wood pulp, a product that consists of almost pure cellulose fibres, the main component of paper. The process name is derived from the Swedish and German word Kraft, meaning "strength" in this context, due to the characteristic strength of the kraft paper produced using the process.
