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.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a corrugated board comprising an adhesive arranged to attach a fluted corrugated medium to a liner wherein the adhesive comprises starch and microfibrillated cellulose. The invention also relates to a method to produce said corrugated board.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing of a film, wherein said film is manufactured in a paper or paper board machine, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a solution of a nanofibrillated poly-saccharide, wherein said solution comprises from 0.01 to 50 weight-% nanofibrillated polysaccharide, and wherein the nanofibrillated polysaccharide is any one of microfibrillated cellulose, nanofibrillated cellulose, nanocrystalline cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose whiskers and cellulose derivative or a combination or mixture thereof, wherein the method further comprises the steps of providing an amphiphilic polymer; and providing a mixture of said amphiphilic polymer and said solution comprising nanofibrillated polysaccharide, whereby an intermediate solution is obtained; bringing said intermediate solution into a foam; providing said foam in the paper or board machine.
Abstract:
A ground cover in the form of a mulch, allowing air and moist to permeate, which includes a paper substrate originating from fibre-bearing pulp, preferably emanating from lignocellulosic material, which has been web-formed or sheet-formed, characterized in that the substrate has been impregnated with supercritical fluid, preferably CO2, alternatively a fluid under high pressure such as near supercritical conditions, wherein also one or more colorant(s) is (are) present in said fluid. Also a method for its manufacture and use thereof are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a film comprising microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the method comprises the steps of: providing a first suspension comprising microfibrillated cellulose, having a dry content of from 0.2 to 2.0%, wherein the first suspension has a first Schopper-Riegler (SR) value; forming a first web of said suspension; at least partly dewatering said first web; applying a second suspension comprising microfibrillated cellulose, and/or fines and/or fibers onto a surface of said formed and at least partially dried first web, wherein the second suspension has a second Schopper-Riegler value which is higher than said first Schopper-Riegler value, thereby forming a film.
Abstract:
A method for forming a thermoplastic composite material in a papermaking machine, wherein the method comprises the steps of: forming an aqueous fiber material suspension; bringing said fiber suspension in contact with at least one additive, said additive being introduced into said fiber suspension, whereby said additive reacts to form a precipitation product onto or into the fibers, thereby forming an intermediate suspension, introducing, after the formation of the intermediate suspension, a plastic material into said intermediate suspension, thereby forming a plastic fiber composite suspension.
