Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for treating cellulose fibres which process comprises the steps of providing a slurry comprising cellulose fibers, adding anionic polyacrylamide (A-PAM) with high molar mass to the slurry in a first step and subjecting the slurry comprising fibers and A-PAM to a mechanical treatment in a second step thereby forming a composition comprising microfibrillated cellulose. The invention further relates to a composition produced according to the process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a multilayer film comprising highly refined cellulose fibers, the method comprising the steps of: a) forming a first wet web by applying a first pulp suspension comprising highly refined cellulose fibers on a first wire; b) partially dewatering the first wet web to obtain a first partially dewatered web; c) forming a second wet web by applying a second pulp suspension comprising highly refined cellulose fibers on a second wire; d) partially dewatering the second wet web to obtain a second partially dewatered web; e) joining the first and second partially dewatered web to obtain a multilayer web; and f) further dewatering, and optionally drying, the multilayer web to obtain a multilayer film comprising highly refined cellulose fibers; wherein at least one of said first and second pulp suspension comprises lignin at a concentration in the range of 0.1-50 wt%, based on the total dry weight of the pulp suspension.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a biobased barrier film for a paper or paperboard-based packaging material, said barrier film comprising: a substrate layer and a coating layer disposed on at least one surface of the substrate layer, wherein said substrate layer has a grammage in the range of 1-60 g/m2 and comprises at least 50 wt% of highly refined cellulose pulp based on the dry weight of the substrate layer, and wherein said coating layer has a grammage in the range of 1-15 g/m2 and comprises at least 50 wt% of a film forming modified starch and 0.1-10 wt% of a biobased lubricant, based on the dry weight of the coating layer.

Abstract:
A method for reducing the surface oil absorption of cellulose based substrate is provided, in which a coating composition is applied to said substrate; and in which the coating composition comprises carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and/or a salt of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). A coated paperboard, and a laminate of the coated paperboard with a polymer layer is also provided. The coating composition provides improved surface oil absorption and improved adherence of an overlying polymer layer.
