Method for producing a machine glazed paper comprising microfibrillated cellulose and a machine glazed paper

A method for producing a machine glazed paper comprising microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• providing a suspension comprising between 0.1 wt-% to 50 wt-% of microfibrillated cellulose based on a total dry weight,
• forming a fibrous web of said suspension on a wire wherein said fibrous web has a dry content of 1-25% by weight,
• dewatering the fibrous web in at least one dewatering unit,
• glazing at least one side of the dewatered fibrous web in a glazing unit to form the machine glazed paper, wherein the glazing unit comprises a Yankee cylinder, an extended nip calender, or a glassine calender,
• wherein the at least one side of the dewatered fibrous web is in direct contact with the glazing unit, and
• wherein the machine glazed paper has Gurley Hill value of at least 25000 s/100 ml, as measured according to standard ISO 5636/6.
