Embodiment 1

[0076] Example 1 (comparison)

[0077] A film comprising microfibrillated cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol and bentonite was cast formed on a moving steel belt to obtain a wet film thickness of 740 μm, then dewatered and dried. The steel strip has a PTFE coating, a Ra roughness of 0.9 μm and a surface energy of 40-42 mN / m.

[0078] The solids content of the suspension used to make the membrane was 4.24 wt-%, containing 95.76 wt-% water, 3.69 wt-% microfibrillated cellulose, 0.37 wt-% polyvinyl alcohol and 0.18 wt-% bentonite .

[0079] The film was dried to a final solids content above 95 wt-%, and an attempt was made to separate the film from the steel strip and take it to a coiler as a free-standing film to make a continuous roll of film.

[0080] The adhesion between the film and the steel belt is so high that the film cannot be separated from the steel belt and the machine must be stopped.

Embodiment 2

[0082] The MFC film formulation as provided in Example 1 was cast formed, but now with the difference that the tape was treated with an emulsion to control adhesion to the tape.

[0083] Aqueous emulsions of rapeseed oil were prepared by using lecithin as an emulsifier. First 6 g of soy lecithin was dispersed in 100 g of rapeseed oil in a kitchen blender, then 1000 g of water was added and the emulsion was mixed until it appeared homogeneous. The emulsion was then diluted with water to achieve a final concentration of 2 wt-% rapeseed oil.

[0084] The same cast forming conditions and steel belt as in Example 1 were used, but here the emulsion was sprayed with an atomizing nozzle at a rate of 82 g / min on the top surface of the moving steel belt prior to feeding the MFC suspension to the steel belt superior. The belt is 4.8m 2 / min speed to move. 35 g / min of emulsion was taken from the belt surface with a rubber spatula that continuously wiped the belt surface to remove exce...

Embodiment 3

[0087] The MFC composition was prepared as in Example 2, but the rapeseed oil concentration in the emulsion was reduced to 0.2 wt-%.

[0088] Also, 12.5g / m 2 The dose provided successful release of the substantially dry film from the surface of the steel strip, and a continuous free-standing film could be wound. With the lower dose of rapeseed oil emulsion, the film and strip surfaces showed less residue from the emulsion.

Abstract

A method of making a cellulose film comprising microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is provided, the method comprising the step of applying an aqueous emulsion of one or more vegetable oils to a surface of a cast substrate. An improved detachment of the MFC membrane can thus be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of making a cellulose film comprising microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). MFC membranes are also available. Background technique [0002] It is advantageous to use hydrophilic film-forming polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol to reinforce the barrier properties and reinforcement of cellulosic films. In particular, such additives can be used in films of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), where interfiber bonding is weak due to the fineness of MFC. [0003] One problem that occurs when casting on a substrate in cellulosic film manufacture is the very high degree of adhesion between the film and the substrate that such components can impart. Even at very low dosages, the film-forming polymers can produce such high adhesion that the cellulose film cannot be separated from the casting substrate when dried. Solutions to this problem include scrubbing or rinsing the cellulose film from the cast substrate. However, such...
