    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 foamed second pulp suspension comprising highly refined cellulose fibers and a foaming agent on a second wire; d) partially dewatering the foamed 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.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a film comprising microfibrillated cellulose, which comprises: providing a suspension comprising 30-100 weight-% microfibrillated cellulose based on total dry weight: forming a wet web of said suspension by casting on a support being a non-porous support, paper or paperboard: wet-pressing said wet web to form a dewatered web, which comprises applying a press fabric into direct contact with said wet web and conducting said wet web, arranged between said press fabric and said non-porous support, through a pressing equipment: smoothening said dewatered web by applying at least one smoothing press to said dewatered web arranged on said non-porous support so as to form a smoothened web, wherein a pressure of 0.1-25 MPa is applied in each smoothing press, wherein said dewatered web has a dry content of 20-60% by weight when applying said smoothing press(es), and drying said smoothened web to form said film. The invention further relates to a film.

    Abstract: 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.
