English term or phrase: furnish

Definition from Neenah Paper, Inc.:
The mixture of fiber and other materials that is blended in the water suspension, or slurry, from which paper or board is made; usually about 1% solid material with 99% or the balance being water.

Example sentence(s):

This "furnish", containing 99% water or more, is pumped into the headbox of the paper machine. From the headbox, the furnish is dispensed through a long, narrow "slice" onto the "wire", a moving continuous belt of wire or plastic mesh. bulkmsm.com - Karl Loren
If the process water is allowed to cycle up with contaminants and ink, the more difficult it is to produce clean, bright, good quality furnish. Getting these materials out of the mill system always improves the quality of the process water, which will further improve the production of quality recycled furnish and will reduce effluent loadings. RISI, Inc.
With better grades of paper, care is taken to produce a furnish that is chemically neutral (pH 7 on the acid-base scale). For a paper to have long life, it must be acid-free. Net Industries and its Licensors

pasta de paper

Definition from own experience or research:
Barreja de polpa (pasta) de paper, cola, colorants i altres additius amb la qual es fa el paper.

Example sentence(s):

Aprofitem recipients d'Actimel per fer el cos d'un ninot. Amb la pasta de paper, que hem ben barrejat amb cola, recobrim els recipients. - XTEC
La pasta de paper preparada amb cola y aigua es converteix en una massa de modelar de propietats similars a les del fang. - Jouscout
Avui dia la matèria primera per a la fabricació de paper és la pasta de paper procedent de la cel·lulosa continguda a la fusta. Això ha portat a potenciar el conreu d'arbres de creixement ràpid com l'eucaliptus o els pins. Els arbres, un cop tallats i eliminades les branques, són traslladats a les papereres on començarà el procés de fabricació del paper. El primer que es fa és treure l'escorça dels troncs abans que siguin triturats a través de diferents fases, després la fusta es barreja amb aigua per ser sotmesa més tard a tractaments químics, cocció amb productes químics i blanquejants. Amb aquests processos s'obtindrà la pasta de cel·lulosa que serà la base de la fabricació del paper. La fabricació del paper pròpiament, comença amb una màquina que fa una làmina prima d'una barreja de pasta amb un 99% d'aigua, a continuació una altra màquina sacsejarà la làmina per tal d'orientar les fibres de la cel·lulosa i fer que la mescla quedi ben repartida. - Viquìpèdia
