20150158955 | LOW ENERGY METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF NON-DERIVATIZED NANOCELLULOSE - A low energy method for the preparation of nanocellulose using selected organic or inorganic swelling agents. The use of these swelling agents allows opening up the intercrystalline structure and partially the intracrystalline structure of cellulosic materials thereby achieving a reduction 5 in the energy required to subsequently process the resultant swollen cellulose material into nanocellulose. | 06-11-2015 |

20140041821 | METHOD FOR DRY SPINNING NEUTRAL AND ANIONICALLY MODIFIED CELLULOSE AND FIBRES MADE USING THE METHOD - The present invention is directed towards a method for spinning neutral or anionically modified cellulose comprising the steps of: (a) preparing a suspension of the neutral or anionically modified cellulose in a continuous phase; (b) subjecting the suspension to high shear rate; (c) performing spinning by extruding the cellulose suspension into an airgap region comprising at least one heated zone to obtain spun fibres, (d) subjecting the spun fibres to at least one washing stages and (e) isolating the spun fibres from the at least one washing stages; as well as fibres obtained based on the method of the invention and paper or board products derived from such fibres. | 02-13-2014 |
20130012695 | PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF CELLULOSE-BASED FIBRES AND THE FIBRES THUS OBTAINED - A method for the spinning of a fibre comprising cellulose nano-fibrils aligned along the main axis of the fibre from a lyotropic suspension of cellulose nano-fibrils, the nano-fibril alignment being achieved through extension of the extrude fibre from a die, spinneret or needle, wherein the fibre is dried under extension and the aligned nano-fibrils aggregate to form a continuous structure and wherein the suspension of nano-fibrils, which has a concentration of solids of at least 7% wt, is homogenised using at least a mechanical, distributive mixing process prior to its extrusion. The fibrils used in this method can be extracted from a cellulose-rich material such as wood. The invention also related to a cellulose-based fibre obtained according to this method and to a cellulose fibre which contains at least 90% wt of crystallised cellulose. | 01-10-2013 |
20110263840 | PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF CELLULOSE-BASED FIBRES AND THE FIBRES THUS OBTAINED - A method for the spinning of a fibre comprising cellulose nano-fibrils being aligned along the main axis of the fibre from a lyotropic suspension of cellulose nano-fibrils, said nano-fibril alignment being achieved through extension of the extruded fibre from a die, spinneret or needle, wherein said fibre is dried under extension and the aligned nano-fibrils aggregate to form a continuous structure. The fibrils used in this method can be extracted from a cellulose-rich material such as wood. The invention also related to a cellulose-based fibre obtained according to this method and to a cellulose fibre which contains at least 90% wt of crystallised cellulose. | 10-27-2011 |
20110083573 | COATING COMPOSITION FOR OFFSET PAPER - Coating for an offset paper comprising a catalyst for fixing polymerisable or crosslinkable constituents of the offset ink. The chemical drying time can be substantially reduced if such a catalyst system is added to the coating, wherein preferentially such a catalyst is a transition metal complex/salt, like Mn (2-ethylhexanoate, bpy). | 04-14-2011 |
20100304124 | COATING FORMULATION FOR OFFSET PAPER AND PAPER COATED THEREWITH - Coated paper for offset printing comprising at least on one side a top coating layer with improved ink scuff behaviour, said top coating layer comprising a pigment part, the 100 parts in dry weight thereof comprising in the range of 2-40 parts in dry weight of a fine particulate, preferably organosilane surface-treated Phyllosilicate pigment like (as pure as possible) Talcum, a binder part of 2-20 parts in dry weight of binder and optionally additives in the range of 0-8 parts in dry weight. | 12-02-2010 |
20100239761 | COATING FORMULATION FOR AN OFFSET PAPER AND PAPER COATED THEREWITH - The document describes a coated paper for offset printing e.g. with a TAPPI 75° gloss value of below 35% or with high gloss properties, comprising at least on one side a top coating layer, said top coating layer comprising a pigment part, the 100 parts in dry weight thereof comprising in the range of 5-40 parts in dry weight of a fine particulate ground calcium carbonate with surface and internal structure modification as a result of treatment with one or more medium to strong H | 09-23-2010 |
20100196701 | PAPER FOR OFFSET PRINTING - Disclosed is a printing sheet for offset printing, comprising at least one image receiving coating and optionally one or several pre-coatings beneath said image receiving coating, said coatings comprising a pigment part, a binder part, and optionally additives, wherein the pigment part essentially consists of one or a mixture of fine particulate pigments selected from the group of carbonate, kaolin, solid or vacuolated polymer pigment, wherein said binder part comprises waterglass. | 08-05-2010 |
20090197005 | COATED PAPER FOR SHEET-FED OFFSET PRINTING - The specification pertains to a single or multiple coated printing sheet in particular but not exclusively for sheet-fed offset printing with an image receptive coating layer on a paper substrate. Unexpectedly short converting times and times until reprinting can be achieved by choosing a coating, in which the image receptive coating layer comprises a top layer and/or at least one second layer below said top layer, said top and/or second layer comprising a pigment part, wherein this pigment part is composed of 1-95 preferably of 80-95 parts in dry weight of a fine particulate carbonate and/or of a fine particulate kaolin or clay and 1-100, preferably 6 to 25 parts in dry weight of a fine particulate silica, and a binder part, wherein this binder part is composed of 5-20 parts in dry weight of binder and less than 4 parts in dry weight of additives. Furthermore methods for making such a printing sheet and uses of such a printing sheet are disclosed. | 08-06-2009 |
20090123768 | Coating Composition for Offset Paper - Coating for an offset paper comprising a catalyst for fixing polymerisable or crosslinkable constituents of the offset ink.

20080261021 | Coated Paper for Sheet-Fed Offset Printing - The specification pertains to a single or multiple coated printing sheet in particular but not exclusively for sheet-fed offset printing with an image receptive coating layer on a paper substrate. The printing sheet has the property that it can be printed in an offset printing process without spraying a fine powder, usually called offset powder or dust powder, on the sheet as it comes off the press to prevent the ink from transferring to the back side of the next sheet. Also irradiative (UV or IR) drying on the sheet fed press is not necessary and/or the use of overprint varnish is not required. In addition to that, unexpectedly short times until reprinting and converting can be achieved. Furthermore methods for making such a printing sheet and uses of such a printing sheet are disclosed. | 10-23-2008 |
