A degradable containment includes an outer structural layer constructed of a pulp material, a central carrier layer constructed of a biopolymer, and an interior nanomaterial layer constructed of a nanomaterial.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a coated cellulosic laminar element for disposable food and/or drinks service packaging and containers, comprising the following steps: (a) performing a first application of an aqueous dispersion of an ethylene compound and an acrylic compound on a single side of the cellulosic laminar element; (b) drying the dispersion applied in a); (c) performing, after the drying, a second application of the ethylene compound and acrylic compound to the ethylene compound and acrylic compound applied in a) on the same side; (d) drying the dispersion applied in c). The present invention also relates to a cellulosic laminar element and to a disposable foods and/or drinks service packaging and containers obtained by means of the method of the present invention.

The present invention is directed to a process for manufacturing a nano-coated pulp-based substrate comprising the steps of: a) providing a suspension comprising pulp, said pulp having Schopper Riegler value of at least 70°; b) using the suspension of step a) to form a wet web; c) dewatering and/or drying the wet web to form a substrate; d) adding a first layer of an acrylic monomer solution comprising less than 2 wt-% water to the surface of the substrate, followed by radiation curing the first layer; e) optionally adding a second layer comprising an acrylic monomer solution to the surface of the cured first layer and radiation curing the second layer; f) providing a nano-coating on the surface of the cured first or second layer such that a nano-coating having a thickness in the range of from 0.1 nm to 100 nm is provided on the substrate.

The present disclosure provides an ink fluid set containing an aqueous pretreatment composition and an aqueous inkjet ink. This ink fluid set is particularly suitable for printing on offset coated media.

The present invention relates generally to the field of polymer dispersion coated, paper-based flexible packaging materials. In particular, the present invention relates to improving the barrier properties of polymer dispersion coated 5 paper-based flexible packaging materials. Embodiments of the present invention relate to a process for improving the barrier properties of polymer dispersion coated paper-based flexible packaging materials comprising the step of applying an Al2O3 coating to at least one surface of the dispersion coated paper-based flexible packaging materials, for example by using atomic layer deposition; and an Al2O3-coated paper material 10 obtainable by such a process.

Provided is barrier paper excellent in gas barrier properties, with respect to barrier paper including a paper substrate layer.

Barrier paper comprising a paper substrate layer, an adhesive layer, and an inorganic vapor-deposited layer in this order, the adhesive layer being in contact with the inorganic vapor-deposited layer. In the barrier paper, when the arithmetic average roughness of the surface of the inorganic vapor-deposited layer on the side opposite to the paper substrate layer is defined as Ra1, and the standard deviation of the Ra1 is defined as σRa1, σRa1 is preferably 0.030 μm or less.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cost-effective method of producing cellulose based films by introducing an intense water removal system to the process, and cellulose based films thereof having improved properties.

A degradable containment includes an outer structural layer constructed of a pulp material, a central carrier layer constructed of a biopolymer, and an interior nanomaterial layer constructed of a nanomaterial.

A water-dispersible sheet is described that maintains water dispersibility while providing suppressed time degradation of the tacky adhesiveness of a tacky adhesive layer. The water-dispersible sheet has a paper substrate with a multilayer structure. One layer of the multilayer structure is an inner layer that is not in contact with the tacky adhesive layer. Another layer is a surface layer that is in contact with the tacky adhesive layer. The layers independently include mixed pulps of a wood pulp and a refined pulp with an α-cellulose content of 88 % by weight or more. The weight ratio of the layers and the beating degree of the mixed pulps are set in the specific ranges.

The present invention relates to a thermally printable paper article with an elastomeric underlayer, which imparts improved printing performance.
