Abstract: The invention discloses a method to enable the efficient use of surfactants in web forming of a cellulose containing material, e.g. in the making of paper or paperboard. The method comprises the addition of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) or nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) to the white water in a web-forming process in order to form complexes with surface active agents. The formed complexes are at least partly recycled to the process. This enables the producer to have control over the concentration of surface active agents in the system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ground cover in the form of a mulch, comprising a paper substrate originating from fibre-bearing pulp, preferably emanating from lignocellulosic material, which has been web-formed or sheet-formed. Paper based mulches face problems with biodegradability and microbial attacks, mechanical strength and cost. The solution according to the invention is that the fibres have been coated with one or more minerals, e.g., calcium carbonate, and the mulch comprises one or more functional agents, e.g., a colorant. Further, the mineral coated onto or into the fibres predominantly show up when precipitated in the form of one or more metal carbonates.

Abstract: A hydrophobically sized fibrous web layer, preparation of a fibrous web or a fiber-based coating, a multilayer board product having at least a middle layer formed of said fibrous web, as well as use of a heat-sensitive surfactant for said methods and products, whereby microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and hydrophobic size are brought to a foam with water and the heat-sensitive surfactant, the foam is supplied to a forming fabric of a paper or board machine, dewatered by suction of air through the forming fabric, and dried to a web product. Alternatively the foam may be supplied onto a premade fibrous web and dried to form a coating layer. The hydrophilic functionality of the surfactant contained in the web may be destroyed by heating. Pulp of a greater fiber length, such as CTMP, may be included, to provide improved wet and dry tensile strength for the paper and board products.
