    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 multilayer film comprising microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) in a paper-making machine, the method comprising the steps of: a) forming a bottom web layer by applying a first pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of cellulose based fibrous material having an SR (Schopper-Riegler) value in the range of 18-75 on a bottom web wire; b) forming or applying an intermediate web layer formed from a second pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of MFC having an SR value in the range of 80-100 on the bottom web layer; c) applying a top web layer formed from a third pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of cellulose based fibrous material having an SR (Schopper-Riegler) value in the range of 18-75 on the intermediate web layer to form a multilayer web; and d) dewatering, and optionally drying, the formed multilayer web to obtain a multilayer film comprising MFC.

    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.
