The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a multilayer film comprising microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) in a paper-making machine, the method comprising the steps of: a) forming a bottom web layer by applying a first pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of cellulose based fibrous material having an SR (Schopper-Riegler) value in the range of 18-75 on a bottom web wire; b) forming or applying an intermediate web layer formed from a second pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of MFC having an SR value in the range of 80-100 on the bottom web layer; c) applying a top web layer formed from a third pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of cellulose based fibrous material having an SR (Schopper-Riegler) value in the range of 18-75 on the intermediate web layer to form a multilayer web; and d) dewatering, and optionally drying, the formed multilayer web to obtain a multilayer film comprising MFC.

A green paper is provided for producing a gas diffusion layer (GDL) for a fuel cell. A process is for producing a green paper for producing a gas diffusion layer (GDL) for a fuel cell. The green paper includes at least one first, watermarked paper web. The watermark forms the patterning for the flow field or gas distribution structure of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) produced from the green paper. The first paper web is admixed with metal powder and/or metal fibres. The eventual GDL is formed after debindering, sintering, coating, deposition of atomic layers (ALD—atomic layer deposition) and further operating steps.

A method for creping paper includes applying an adhesive composition to an outer surface of a creping cylinder (Yankee cylinder) to form an adhesive coating, contacting paper with the adhesive coating, removing the paper and adhesive coating from the creping cylinder, and determining a quality of the adhesive coating. Determining the quality of the adhesive coating may include measuring a degree of cross-linking of the adhesive polymer, a concentration of the adhesive polymer in the adhesive coating, a water content of the adhesive coating, an ash content of the adhesive coating, or combinations thereof. Determining the quality of the adhesive coating may also include determining a thickness of the adhesive coating by measuring light absorbed by the coating and calculating the thickness using Beer's Law. Systems and apparatuses for determining the quality of the adhesive coating and for creping paper are also disclosed.

Disclosed are methods for manufacturing laminated paperboard materials that are alternatives to plastic, wood, and wood-like materials, such as plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and oriented strand board (OSB). Also disclosed are structures formed from thick-caliper laminated paperboard materials.

A liquid applying apparatus for fiber products is provided, including a first liquid applying device, a second liquid applying device, and a third liquid applying device. The second liquid applying device is adjacent to the first liquid applying device and the third liquid applying device. The first liquid applying device and the second liquid applying device respectively apply and coat liquids on different surfaces of a two-layer fiber product, and the third liquid applying device applies and coats a liquid on a surface of a single-layer fiber product. The second liquid applying device and the third liquid applying device press and laminate the two-layer fiber product and the single-layer fiber product together to form a three-layer fiber product with uniformly distributed liquids therein.
