The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a barrier film comprising highly refined cellulose, said method comprising: a) providing a highly refined cellulose pulp suspension comprising highly refined cellulose pulp having a Schopper-Riegler (SR) number in the range of 40-98 as determined by standard ISO 5267-1 and a content of fibers having a length >0.2 mm of at least 7 million fibers per gram based on dry weight, at a consistency in the range of 0.1-1.5 wt %; b) forming a web of the highly refined cellulose pulp suspension and dewatering the web in a paper machine former on a wire to a consistency of at least 5 wt % to obtain a substrate web, wherein the white water removed from the pulp contains 2-25 wt %, preferably 5-20 wt % and more preferably at least 5-15 wt % of the solids of the highly refined cellulose pulp suspension provided in step a); c) optionally further dewatering and optionally drying the substrate web; d) coating the optionally further dewatered and optionally dried substrate web with a coating suspension comprising cellulose fines or microfibrillated cellulose to obtain a coated web; and e) dewatering and/or drying the coated web to obtain a barrier film comprising highly refined cellulose.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a paperboard comprising a base ply, a top ply, and an intermediate layer disposed in-between the at least one base ply and the top ply. The intermediate layer comprises pigment and microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). The application of an intermediate layer comprising pigment and MFC in-between the base ply and the top ply gives rise to improved optical properties of the paperboard, even when using an uncoated top ply having a low grammage This makes it possible to reduce the grammage of the top ply and still obtain good optical properties.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to packaging materials in the form of laminates comprising a paper or paperboard substrate and a barrier film. The barrier film is based on microfibrillated cellulose. The laminate comprises a paper or paperboard substrate, wherein the substrate is in contact with a first adhesive layer, which is in contact with a second adhesive layer, which is in contact with the barrier film. The present invention also relates to methods for manufacturing such laminates.
