Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for producing a paper or a board product having increased dimension stability including providing a fibre slurry including never-dried fibres, treating the fibre slurry with a strength composition, and forming a paper or a board product from the treated fibre slurry, where the strength composition includes a permanent wet strength resin component and a sizing agent. The present invention further relates to a use of a strength composition for increasing dimensional stability of a paper and a board, and to a paper or a board product having improved dimensional stability.
Claims20
A method for producing of a paper or a board product comprising:
- providing never-dried fibres;
- providing a strength composition comprising a permanent wet strength resin component and a sizing agent;
- adding the permanent wet strength resin component to the never-dried fibres, thus providing treated never-dried fibres;
- combining the treated never-dried fibres with a fibre material selected from recycled fibres, fibres originating from broke, dried fibres and/or fibres produced by mechanical pulping, thus providing a fibre slurry comprising 15-70 weight-% of the treated never-dried fibres, based on a total dry weight of the fibre slurry;
- forming a treated fibre slurry by treating the never-dried fibres with the sizing agent of the strength composition before the combining step or treating the fibre slurry with the sizing agent of the strength composition;
- introducing the treated fibre slurry to a forming section to produce a web;
- and
- introducing the web into a press section for producing a paper or a board product.
