Methods and apparatus for vacuum forming and subsequently applying topical coatings fiber-based food containers. The slurry includes one or more of an embedded moisture barrier, vapor barrier, and oil barrier, and the topical coating comprises one or more of a vapor barrier, a moisture barrier, an oil barrier, and an oxygen barrier. For food containers having deep sidewalls, a spray coating system includes a first nozzle for applying a full cone spray pattern to the bottom surface of the container, and a second nozzle for applying a hollow cone spray pattern to the inside surfaces of the side walls.

A coated paperboard is disclosed which includes a base coat and top coat containing substantially no fluorochemical or wax, exhibiting good resistance to oil and grease, no tendency toward blocking, and being fully repulpable. Improved moisture resistance is also exhibited.

A method and apparatus for manufacturing medical paper for medical sterilization packaging, medical paper and medical sterilization packaging are disclosed. A paper web is formed of fibrous substrate comprising cellulosic fibers and optionally synthetic fibers, with opposite first and second sides. On-line with the forming of the paper web, reinforcing material is applied on the first side and pressed into structure of the paper web such that delamination resistance of the structure is increased. Sealing material is applied on the second side of the paper web on-line with the forming of the paper web.

A deodorant-paper manufacturing method includes: a first step in which belt-like paper stock placed on a wire cloth in a wire part is dehydrated; a second step in which the dehydrated belt-like paper stock is transferred to conveyance means in a press part to be further dehydrated; and a third step in which the dehydrated belt-like paper stock is dried by drying means in a dryer part. Any one of the first to third steps includes a fourth step in which particle-containing liquid having deodorant effect is ejected from ejecting parts. In the fourth step, the ejecting parts are arranged in a line such that the particle-containing liquid is deposited in the width direction of the belt-like paper stock, and the particle-containing liquid is sequentially ejected from the ejecting parts with a predetermined time difference so that unevenness in or damage to fibers in the paper stock does not occur.

The present invention relates to a press-heating gas grafting hydrophobization apparatus, and a hot water-resistant paper and an oil-absorbing paper manufactured using the press-heating gas grafting hydrophobization apparatus. In the press-heating gas grafting hydrophobization apparatus according to the present invention, since a non-air-permeable dryer belt is provided surrounding and pressing a drying roller to prevent dissipation from a base material of a fatty acid chloride vaporized by the drying roller, the press-heating gas grafting hydrophobization apparatus has an advantage of improving efficiency of a gas grafting reaction. Therefore, by using the press-heating gas grafting hydrophobization apparatus according to the present invention, the reaction amount of fatty acid chloride per unit area can be remarkably improved.

A method of making a tissue basesheet includes: (a) forming a nascent web from an aqueous furnish of papermaking fiber; (b) applying an aqueous composition of nanofibrillar cellulose to a surface of the nascent web; and (c) drying the nascent web to provide the tissue basesheet. Typically the basesheet is constructed with a tissue substrate of cellulosic papermaking fiber having applied to a surface thereof a layer of nanofibrillar cellulose, the tissue substrate having a basis weight of from 15 g/m.sup.2 to 30 g/m.sup.2 and the layer of nanofibrillar cellulose having a coatweight of from 0.25 g/m.sup.2 to 3 g/m.sup.2. The product may be incorporated into 2-ply or 3-ply bath tissue.

A method for depositing, on a substrate, a composition of cellulosic fibers, includes preparing an aqueous suspension SA comprising at least cellulosic fibers, spraying, at a pressure no lower than 3 MPa, the aqueous suspension SA onto a substrate, wherein the spraying is carried out by means of a nozzle having a size between 0.05 mm and 3 mm, and obtaining a fibrous deposit DF on the substrate. The aqueous suspension SA includes at least 3% by weight of cellulosic fibers relative to the total weight of the aqueous suspension SA, and the aqueous suspension SA and the fibrous deposit DF have dry matter with identical composition.
