The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a film comprising highly refined cellulose fibers in a paper-making machine, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing an aqueous pulp suspension comprising at least 20% by dry weight of highly refined cellulose fibers having an SR (Schopper-Riegier) value in the range of 80-100 at a consistency in the range of 0.8-3 wt % and; b) deflocculating and diluting the aqueous pulp suspension to a lower consistency in the range of 0.1-1.5 wt % by injecting the aqueous pulp suspension into an aqueous stream using a high shear mixer to obtain a diluted aqueous pulp suspension; and c) feeding the diluted aqueous pulp suspension to a headbox of the paper-making machine.

The present invention relates to a method for dewatering a web comprising microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the method comprises the steps of: providing a suspension comprising between 50 wt-% to 100 wt-% of microfibrillated cellulose based on total dry weight, forming a fibrous web of said suspension on a support wherein said web has a dry content of 1-25% by weight, applying a dewatering felt into direct contact with the fibrous web, conducting said fibrous web, arranged between said dewatering felt and said support, through at least one shoe press equipment, drying the dewatered web to form a film which film has an Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) value (23° C., 50% RH) below 100 cc/m/24 h according to ASTM D-3985.

The invention relates to liquid board comprising one or more layers of material containing cellulose, one or more of said layers comprising an additive that has the capacity to react with or decompose a disinfectant with which said liquid board is treated, so that a gas is formed that acts as a barrier and thereby prevents the penetration, especially edge penetration, of said disinfectant into the paperboard layer/layers.
