Abstract: The present invention is directed to a film comprising a base film which has been coated on at least one side with a coating that enhances gas and/or moisture barrier properties, wherein the base film comprises a fiber material and at least 60% by weight of said fiber material is microfibrillated cellulose, and the thickness of the coating is from 0.05 to 20 μm. The invention is also directed to products using said film. Such products are in particular packages suitable for sensitive objects that need to be packaged in a controlled or modified atmosphere. The film is also useful for other purposes, such as in the manufacture of balloons.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid lignin mixture comprising 3-50 wt % methanol, 12-50 wt % lignin and 5-85 wt % aqueous alkali solution wherein the concentration of said aqueous alkali solution is 1 to 50 wt % of alkali in water, based on the weight of said alkali solution prior to mixing with the other components of the mixture. The liquid lignin mixture can be used to manufacture lignin-based phenolic resins, which are particularly useful in the manufacture of laminates.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the production of a composite comprising microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and precipitated calcium carbonate. The method is characterized in that MFC is added to a suspension of calcium hydroxide during carbonation, whereby calcium carbonate is precipitated onto fibers or fibrils of the MFC in a controlled manner. By adding microfibrillated cellulose to the calcium suspension during the carbonation, the brightness and the strength of the MFC/PCC-composite is enhanced. Moreover, the inventive method facilitates the distribution of calcium dioxide and MFC in the suspension and thus gives rise to a more homogenous product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a film having an oxygen transmission rate in the range of from 1 cc/m2/24 h to 500 cc/m2/24 h according to ASTM D-3985, at a relative humidity of more than 50% at 25° C., or higher than 75% at 25° C., or higher than 85% at 25° C., wherein the method comprises the steps of: providing a first suspension comprising a microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the dry content of the suspension is in the range of from 0.1 to 10% by weight, adding a wet strength additive to said first suspension, at an amount of from 0.1 to 10 weight-% based on the amount of microfibrillated cellulose (dry/dry), thereby forming a mixture of the microfibrillated cellulose and the wet strength additive, applying said mixture to a substrate to form a fibrous web and drying said web to form said film. The present invention also relates to a film produced according to the method.
