Produced from a variety of coniferous softwood with minimal hardwood content
Over 95% of particles pass through a 5mm mesh sieve whilst negligible quantities (less than 5%) are retained on a 8mm mesh sieve
Wood content of 99%+
Moisture content in the region of 45-65% (green weight basis), subject to seasonal variations
The weight/volume ratio (bulk density) is normally in the range of 250-350kg/m3
The pH range is between 4.5 and 5.5
All practical measures are taken to remove foreign matter such as metal, glass, plastic and any other extraneous materials Grey/white to pale yellow in colour with a typically dry woody odour
