Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filler aggregate composition comprising filler particles of ground calcium carbonate (GCC); a pretreatment agent selected from polyvinylamine (PVAM) and cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), or a mixture thereof; and a nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC); wherein said filler aggregate composition is in the form of a slurry, wherein said pretreatment agent has an average molecular weight below 6000000 g/mol and a has a charge density below 7 meq/g, determined at pH 7, and the nanofibrillar cellulose is present in an amount of about 0.1-40% of the dry weight of the filler particles. Further it also relates to its method of production, and its use in stocks, paper and paper board.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for providing a pretreated filler composition for use in paper and board manufacturing including the steps of: a) providing a filler comprising precipitated calcium carbonate, said filler being in the form of a slurry comprising no additives; b) providing at least one polymer selected from polyvinylamine or polyacrylic amide, said polymer having a charge density of an absolute value of at most 4 meq/g determined at pH 7; c) combining said at least one polymer of step b) with the filler of step a); d) providing a slurry of nanofibrillar cellulose; e) combining said nanofibrillar cellulose slurry with the formed combination of step c) and forming a pretreated filler composition comprising aggregates. Further it also relates to a pretreated filler composition prepared therefrom, and its use in stocks, paper and paper board.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for increasing strength properties, preferably burst strength and SCT strength, of a paper or board product. The paper or board product is manufactured from a fibrous web produced by a multilayer headbox, where an aqueous layer is formed between at least a first and a second fibre layer formed from fibrous stock suspension(s), and where feed water for the aqueous layer includes at least one cationic polymer. The method of the invention includes adding an anionic additive selected from a group comprising anionic synthetic organic polymers, anionic polysaccharides, and any of their combinations to the feed water before formation of the aqueous layer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for production of paper or board comprising providing a stock comprising cellulose fibers, adding a mixture comprising microfibrillated cellulose and a strength additive to the stock, adding a microparticle to the stock after the addition of said mixture, dewatering the stock on a wire to form a web, and drying the web.
Abstract:
A product includes a microfibrillated cellulose composition, a starch derivative, and an anionic cellulose derivative, as a combined preparation for simultaneous or separate use. The anionic cellulose derivative has a number average molecular weight comprised between 300000 g/mol and 800000 g/mol, and a degree of substitution comprised between 0.3 and 0.65. Additionally, a paper sheet includes the product as an additive to increase the initial wet web strength and/or dry tensile strength of the paper sheet.
