Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method to produce a linerboard for corrugated board, a linerboard, use of said linerboard and a corrugated board comprising said linerboard.
- Corrugated board is a packaging material which can be converted to different types of packaging solutions.
- the corrugated board is a fiber based material comprising a corrugated medium (fluting) and at least one facing or linerboard attached onto a surface of the fluted medium, thus forming a sandwich structure.
- the central paper layer, called corrugated medium is formed by using heat, moisture and pressure, into a corrugated shape using a corrugator.
- One or two facings, called liners are glued to the tips of the corrugated medium.
- the sandwich can be formed in different ways such as in single, double, and triple walls as described in Kirwan M., J., Paper and Paperboard. Packaging Technology, Blackwell Publishing 2005.
- corrugated board grades There are different kinds of corrugated board grades, and these might comprise different types of liners and corrugated medium. Examples of different types of liners are kraftliner, white top kraftliner and testliner.
- Kraftliner is typically produced from kraft pulp that can be bleached or unbleached and may comprise one or more plies wherein the top layer/ply is often optimized to provide good printing surface and good moisture resistance.
- Testliner is mainly produced from recycled old corrugated board and is mostly done in two plies. Kraftliners are frequently used in corrugated packages with higher demands on strength properties.
- Washboarding or the “wash-board effect” is an undesired effect resulting from the corrugated board manufacturing process which might become even more visible after printing of the surface.
- the washboard effect is usually associated with the interfacial glue spreading/absorption and shrinkage of the glue between the liner and the fluting during drying. As the adhesive dries the liner may take up the silhouette of the flutes causing a washboard appearance.
- Another challenge connected to the use of lightweight linerboards and flutings is to achieve good printing properties in flexographic printing of a thereof produced corrugated board, but yet maintain the fluting structure intact.
- the invention relates to a method to produce a linerboard, which method comprises the steps of: forming a top ply, comprising a first layer, by supplying a first furnish onto a first forming fabric of a paperboard machine, wherein the first furnish is ejected from a first headbox, forming a two-layered ply, comprising a second layer and a third layer, by supplying a second and a third furnish onto a second forming fabric, wherein the second and third furnish is ejected from a multi-layer headbox, couching said top ply and said two-layered ply together so that said second layer is arranged between said first layer and said third layer, forming a multi-ply web, dewatering and drying said multi-ply web, wherein the first and third furnish exhibit a first SR-value according to ISO 5267-1 of between 22 - 80, preferably of between 24 - 50, the second furnish exhibits a second SR according to ISO 5267-1 of
- a linerboard made by the method of the invention exhibits a high bending resistance and a high compression strength, which in turn provides high resistance to interflute buckling and sagging in a thereof formed corrugated board.
- This is achieved by the inventive combination of an optimized fiber refining level of the furnish in each layer of the linerboard, the separate formation of the top layer and the use of a multi-layer headbox to form the two-layered back ply.
- the linerboard made according to the invention provides good printing properties in a thereof produced corrugated board, especially in flexographic printing, without the fluting structure being negatively affected.
- the bulky middle layer gives rise to high compressibility, whereby the undesired effects of dot gain and stresses to fluting will be mitigated during the printing process.
- the invention relates to a linerboard comprising a top ply comprising a first layer and a two-layered ply comprising a second and a third layer, wherein
- the first layer and the third layer are made from furnishes exhibiting an SR- value according to ISO 5267-1 of between 22 - 80, preferably of between 24 - 50,
- the second layer is made from a furnish exhibiting an SR value according to ISO 5267-1 of less than 30, preferably less than 25, wherein the first SR-value is at least 2 units higher than the second SR-value,
- the two-layered ply comprising the second and third layer is formed by use of a multi-layer headbox
- the second layer is located between the first layer and the third layer, and wherein
- the linerboard exhibits an SCT index (CD) according to ISO 9895 of at least 20 Nm/g, preferably at least 23 Nm/g, and a bending resistance index GM according to ISO 2493-1 of at least 7 Nm 6 /kg 3 .
- CD SCT index
- the invention in a third aspect, relates to a corrugated board comprising a fluting and a linerboard according to the linerboard of the second aspect.
- the invention further relates to the use of the linerboard of the second aspect in the production of a corrugated board to reduce interflute buckling tendency.
- the SR is measured for the fiber furnish after refining, for never-dried and refined pulp.
- SCT index (CD) is measured according to ISO 9895. Bending resistance index is measured at an angle of 15 Q by use of Lorentzen & Wettre instrument in accordance with ISO 2493-1. The bending resistance index is measured in MD and CD. The Bending resistance index geometric mean (GM) is calculated as the square root of the product of the bending resistance index in CD and MD.
- Burst index is measured in accordance with ISO 2758.
- the grammage or basis weight refers to the weight expressed as grams per square meter, gsm or g/m 2 and is measured in accordance with ISO 536. As used herein, gsm and g/m 2 may be used interchangeable.
- Tensile stiffness index is measured according to ISO 1924-3.
- the tensile stiffness index geometric mean (GM) is calculated as the square root of the product of the tensile stiffness index in MD and CD.
- Multilayer headbox as used herein defines a headbox comprising several (at least two) separate CD distribution channels.
- the headbox nozzle is equipped with separation vanes to prevent the layers from mixing.
- the headbox is preferably a hydraulic type headbox.
- “Furnish” as used herein defines a furnish comprising cellulose fibers and potentially fillers and additives conventionally used in linerboard production.
- Fillers as used herein is meant to define inorganic fillers preferably made from natural minerals, including but not limited to ground calcium carbonate (GCC), kaolin, precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), talc and titanium dioxide.
- GCC ground calcium carbonate
- PCC precipitated calcium carbonate
- talc titanium dioxide
- MFC Microfibrillated cellulose

- cellulose microfibrils fibrillated cellulose, nanofibrillated cellulose, fibril aggregates, nanoscale cellulose fibrils, cellulose nanofibers, cellulose nanofibrils, cellulose microfibers, cellulose fibrils, microfibrillar cellulose, microfibril aggregrates and cellulose microfibril aggregates
- the present invention discloses a method to produce a linerboard comprising a top ply and a two-layered ply.
- the linerboard of the invention is preferably produced in a conventional Fourdrinier machine fitted with two forming units and a first and a second headbox, whereof the second headbox is a multi-layer headbox.
- the top ply is, according to the invention, formed from a first furnish by ejecting the first furnish from a first headbox onto a first forming fiber.
- the consistency of the furnish in the first head-box may be below 0.35%, preferably around 0.1 - 0.2 %.
- a two-layered ply comprising a second and a third layer, is formed from a second and a third furnish by ejecting the second and the third furnish from a multi-layer headbox onto a second forming wire.
- the two. layered ply is preferably formed by ejecting the furnishes from the multi layer headbox so that the third layer is formed on the second forming wire and the second layer is formed upon the third layer.
- the consistency of the furnishes in the multi-layer headbox may be below 0.45 %, preferably around 0.2 - 0.35%.
- the top ply and the two-layered ply are thereafter couched together to form a multi-ply web so that the second layer is arranged between the first layer and the third layer.
- the top ply and the two-layered ply may be dewatered, preferably to a solid content of more than 7 wt%, such as between 10 - 15 wt%, before the couch.
