  • Compositions having increased concentrations of carboxymethylcellulose
    Patent number: 9963558
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present description provide methods for increasing the concentration of carboxymethylcellulose alkali solutions that are particularly suitable for use in a high solids paper coating, barrier materials, etc. Generally described, the method includes dissolving carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and an alkali salt in water to obtain an alkali solution of CMC. The CMC desirably has a degree of substitution less than about 0.9. The alkali solution of CMC includes CMC in a concentration greater than about 9.8% by weight, has a pH from about 7.5 to about 11, and is characterized as having a viscosity of less than about 5,000 mPa.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 8, 2018
    Assignee: CP KELCO OY
    Inventors: Neil Argo Morrison, Anssi Kalevi Kamppinen, Andries Hanzen, Marko Juhani Kanniainen, Anne Irmeli Rutanen
