  • Patent number: 10214855
    Abstract: Method for making modified cellulose products comprises —processing cellulose pulp to modified cellulose pulp at a manufacturing location to increase the susceptibility of fibers to disintegration, —setting the modified cellulose pulp to a suitable dry matter content, and —transporting the modified cellulose pulp at set dry matter content to a location of use, where the modified cellulose pulp is disintegrated to nanofibrillar cellulose.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9169596
    Abstract: The invention relates to a paper product formed from fiber-based pulp to which a material component of plant origin is added. According to the invention, the material component of plant origin is a material which is formed from small particles and which is formed from a source material of plant origin selected at least mainly from the group of bark free wood, stem parts of plants and their combinations and their derivatives, and the paper product contains 4 to 50 vol-% of the material component of plat origin, substantially to increase the printing area in the paper product relative to the bulk of the paper. In addition, the invention relates to a process for manufacturing a paper product.

  • Patent number: 8277611
    Abstract: The invention relates to a paper that is formed of a fiber-based source material and is applicable as printing paper. According to the invention, the surface of the paper is surface-treated by arranging on the surface sufficient density in such manner that the density of at least one surface layer of the paper is sufficiently high to yield a Gurley-Hill value of over 7000 s/100 ml as measured from the entire paper. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for making paper.

  • Patent number: 8268130
    Abstract: The invention relates to a paper that is formed of a fiber-based source material and is applicable as printing paper. According to the invention, the surface of the paper is surface-treated by arranging sufficient density on the surface, such that a mixture is arranged at least on one side of the surface of the paper for forming a surface layer, which mixture comprises pigments in an amount of 75-95% by weight of the dry weight and bonding agent in an amount of 5-25% by weight of the dry weight, and the porosity of the surface layer of the paper is less than 0.07 ml/g as defined by mercury porosimeter process. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for making paper.

  • Publication number: 20100239763
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing paper. A base paper having a first side and a second side is treated, on at least the first side, to a roughness level of Bendtsen roughness from 30 to 500 ml/min. The first side of the base paper is provided with a barrier layer by a contactless method so that the water vapour permeability of the paper is not greater than 10 g/m2/24 h.
