Abstract: The method of the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a fibrous, oxygen barrier film by casting a suspension comprising microfibrillated cellulose onto a non-porous substrate in a number of subsequent steps with intermediate drying. The invention enables an efficient method to manufacture an MFC film by casting technology without the problems of cracks or voids formed in the film. By applying the MFC in several layers, with in-between drying, the distance the water has to diffuse through is shorter, whereby the evaporation is more efficient and the film properties are not negatively affected by the drying.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method to enable the efficient use of surfactants in web forming of a cellulose containing material, e.g. in the making of paper or paperboard. The method comprises the addition of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) or nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) to the white water in a web-forming process in order to form complexes with surface active agents. The formed complexes are at least partly recycled to the process. This enables the producer to have control over the concentration of surface active agents in the system.
