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.

Method of manufacturing a film comprising microfibrillated cellulose

The present invention relates to process for the production of a coated substrate comprising cellulosic fibers, the process comprising the steps of: The present process provides an energy efficient coating process which can be performed online.

Process for the production of a coated substance comprising cellulosic fibres

The invention relates to a process for making paper or paper board comprising forming a cellulosic suspension, flocculating the suspension, draining the suspension on a device to form a sheet and then drying the sheet, wherein the suspension is flocculated using a formation improving 3-component flocculation system comprising a) a linear cationic or ampoteric co-polymer of: i) acrylamide, and ii) a substance with formula (I) with a halide as counter-ion; b) at least one water soluble component chosen from the group of anionic polyacrylamide, non-ionic polyacrylamide and polyethyleneoxide; and c) inorganic microparticles, whereby the flocculation system does not contain a wafer-dispersible or branched anionic organic polymer. The invention also relates to use of the flocculation/retention system in the manufacture of paper or paper board, and to paper and paper board thus produced.

System and process for improving paper and paper board

A method for the manufacturing of nanocellulose. The method includes a first modification of the cellulose material, where the cellulose fibers are treated with an aqueous electrolyte-containing solution of an amphoteric cellulose derivative. The modification is followed by a mechanical treatment. By using this method for manufacturing nanocellulose, clogging of the mechanical apparatus is avoided. Also the nanocellulose is manufactured in accordance with the method and uses of the cellulose.

Method for providing a nanocellulose involving modifying cellulose fibers

A method of treating chemical pulp for the manufacture of microfibrillated cellulose includes the following steps: a) providing a hemicellulose containing pulp, b) refining the pulp in at least one step and treating the pulp with one or more wood degrading enzymes at a relatively low enzyme dosage, and c) homogenizing the pulp thus providing the microfibrillated cellulose. A microfibrillated cellulose obtainable by the method is also provided. The microfibrillated cellulose can be used in food products, paper products, composite materials, coatings or in rheology modifiers (e.g. drilling muds).

Method for the manufacture of microfibrillated cellulose

The invention relates to compositions for coating of printing paper, said compositions comprising microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and one or more polysaccharide hydrocolloids, and use of said compositions. Further, the invention relates to coated paper, comprising a first layer of polysaccharide hydrocolloid(s) and a second layer of MFC, and use of said paper. A method for reducing the linting and/or dusting of a paper is also disclosed.

Composition for coating of printing paper

A process for the production of paper from an aqueous suspension containing cellulosic fibers, and optional fillers, which comprises draining the suspension to obtain a paper web and subjecting the obtained paper web to impulse pressing by passage through at least one press nip having at least one heated roll which is in contact with the web and heated to a temperature above 100&deg; C., wherein a chemical system comprising a polymer component and micro- or nanoparticles are added to the suspension or the paper web before the paper web passes the press nip of the impulse unit.

Process for the production of paper

The present invention relates to a process for obtaining retention of the manufacture of paper, whereby one adds a cationic, high polymer polysaccharide at the preparation of a stock of paper pulp; that one adds an anionic aluminium compound, or a combination of an aluminium salt and an alkali or an acid to the formation in situ of such an anionic aluminium compound immediately prior to the head box, whereby pH immediately prior to the head box is kept at pH 7 to 8.
