Abstract: Paper or paperboard laminate composed of at least one bulk-promoting layer, here termed bulk layer (1), 40-98% of which is composed of cellulose fibers with a freeness value of 550-950 ml CSF, and on at least one side of the bulk layer at least one secondary layer (3a, 3b?), which has a greater density than the bulk layer, the secondary layer and bulk layer being joined indirectly to one another over basically the whole of their opposing surfaces and the laminate having a bending stiffness index greater than 2.5 Nm7/kg3, but less than 14 Nm7/kg3, calculated as a geometric mean value for machine direction and cross direction. According to the invention a thin intermediate layer (2a), which has a higher drainage resistance than the bulk layer and has been formed together with the bulk layer, is arranged between the said bulk layer (1) and secondary layer (3a, 3b?).

Abstract: The invention relates to liquid board comprising one or more layers of material containing cellulose, one or more of said layers comprising an additive that has the capacity to react with or decompose a disinfectant with which said liquid board is treated, so that a gas is formed that acts as a barrier and thereby prevents the penetration, especially edge penetration, of said disinfectant into the paperboard layer/layers.

Abstract: Method for predicting properties of a product of cellulose-fibre-based pulp, paper or paperboard, wherein a suspension of cellulose fibre is subjected to analysis, during manufacture of the product, by spectroscopic measurements of a sample quantity of the suspension, in a spectrum in the wavelength range 200–2500 nm. The method comprises diluting each sample quantity prior to analysis, dewatering and drying one partial flow and subjecting that partial flow to spectroscopic measurements, and analyzing a second partial flow of the diluted sample quantity for physical fiber data, by means of image analysis. Each sample quantity analyzed generates at least 100 data points from the spectroscopic measurement distributed in the selected spectrum, and at least 50 data points with regard to the physical fibre data, in the form of one or more physical fibre property distributions with regard to at least one physical property selected from fibre length, fibre width and fibre shape.

Abstract: Coating composition comprising mineral pigment, for creating a matt or silk coated paper with decreased ink scuff tendency. The coating composition also comprises organic particles, which particles in an amount of 0.5-9.5 weight-% calculated on said mineral pigment, exhibit a particle size of more than 2 &mgr;m and at the most 50 &mgr;m. The invention also relates to a paper which is coated with said coating composition.
