    Abstract: The invention relates to methods of producing microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). According to the invention a fibrous pulp suspension is fibrillated mechanically at a consistency of less than 12.5%, dewatered to raise the consistency of the fibrillated suspension to at least 12.5%, and then subjected in the dewatered condition to further fibrillation. Alternatively an initially fibrillated fibrous pulp suspension may be dewatered and fibrillated in the dewatered condition, after which these dewatering and fibrillating steps are repeated one or more times so that pulp consistency is increased for each fibrillation step. The goals of raising the consistency between subsequent fibrillations are energy saving and an increased aspect ratio in MFC. The invention even comprises uses of the MFC product, e.g. as an additive for papermaking furnish or injection molded plastic composites.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for manufacturing a nano-coated pulp-based substrate comprising the steps of: a) providing a suspension comprising pulp, said pulp having Schopper Riegler value of at least 70°; b) using the suspension of step a) to form a wet web; c) dewatering and/or drying the wet web to form a substrate; d) adding a first layer of an acrylic monomer solution comprising less than 2 wt-% water to the surface of the substrate, followed by radiation curing the first layer; e) optionally adding a second layer comprising an acrylic monomer solution to the surface of the cured first layer and radiation curing the second layer; f) providing a nano-coating on the surface of the cured first or second layer such that a nano-coating having a thickness in the range of from 0.1 nm to 100 nm is provided on the substrate.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method to produce a linerboard exhibiting a high bending resistance and a high compression strength, which in turn provides high resistance to interflute buckling and sagging in a thereof formed corrugated board. This is achieved by the inventive combination of an optimized fiber refining level of the furnish in each layer of the linerboard, the separate formation of the top layer and the use of a multi-layer headbox to form the two-layered ply. In addition, the linerboard made according to the invention provides good printing properties in a thereof produced corrugated board, especially in flexographic printing, without the fluting structure being negatively affected.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a purified fiber fraction from used beverage carton (UBC), said method comprising the steps: a) subjecting UBC starting material to a polymer and aluminum film separation method to obtain a UBC polymer and aluminum fraction and a raw UBC fiber fraction; b) optionally subjecting the raw UBC fiber fraction to a coarse screening method to remove coarse particles; c) subjecting the raw UBC fiber fraction to a fine screening method to remove cellulose fines and fine particulate contaminants, wherein the fine screening method comprises at least one fine screening step and at least one washing step; d) optionally subjecting the fine screened UBC fiber fraction to a washing method to remove further contaminants; e) optionally subjecting the fine screened UBC fiber fraction to a bleaching method; f) subjecting the fine screened, and optionally bleached, UBC fiber fraction to a dewatering method to a consistency of at least wt %; and g) subjecting the dewatered UBC fiber fraction to deactivation to obtain a purified 20 UBC fiber fraction.
