A first aspect of the invention relates to a coated substrate, the substrate comprising or consisting of glass and / or
metal, said substrate having a primary
coating on at least one surface; and at least one, preferably removable, layer of
nanocellulose on at least a part of said at least one surface of the substrate, on top of the primary
coating. In a second aspect, the invention is directed to the use of
nanocellulose as, preferably removable, protective
coating on a surface of a substrate having a primary coating on at least one surface. A third aspect of the invention relates to a process for protecting a substrate, a fourth aspect is directed to an aqueous mixture comprising
nanocellulose, preferably obtainable or obtained by the process of the second aspect of the invention, and a fifth aspect of the invention relates to an aqueous mixture comprising nanocellulose, further comprising (or being essentially free of) at least one binder or a
reaction product of at least one binder and / or at least one filler.
