| 20100151164 | MOISTURE RESISTANT CONTAINER - A sheet of cellulose based material having enhanced strength, particularly the dry strength, substantially unaffected repulpability is disclosed. The sheet of cellulose based materials generally includes a first cellulose based material connected with a second cellulose base material element. The first cellulose based material is formed by separating a portion of the fiber from a furnish, treating the separated portion with a cationic wet strength resin which is allowed to bond to the fiber. The treated fiber is them mixed with the untreated balance of the fiber at some point before the paper machine. The fiber that is separated may be secondary fiber, virgin fiber or combinations thereof. The second cellulose base material element is substantially free from any treatment. The second cellulose base material element may be include substantially all untreated fibers. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100163195 | High-Yield Paper and Methods of Making Same - A high-yield paper sheet generally includes at least about 50 weight percent mechanical pulp, wherein the basis weight of the sheet is in the range of about 24 to about 60 pounds, and a surface layer on the sheet including nPCC pigment. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100163196 | High-Yield Paper and Methods of Making Same - A high-yield paper sheet generally includes at least about 50 weight percent mechanical pulp, wherein the basis weight of the sheet is in the range of about 24 to about 60 pounds, and wherein the porosity of the sheet is in the range of about 40 to about 100 Sheffield porosity. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100163198 | High-Yield Paper and Methods of Making Same - A method of making a high-yield paper sheet generally includes blending a pulp mixture including at least about 50 weight percent mechanical pulp, making an uncoated paper sheet from the pulp mixture, applying a surface layer to the paper sheet, the surface layer including nPCC, and drying the sheet, wherein the basis weight of the dried sheet is in the range of about 24 to about 60 pounds. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100167198 | METHODS OF LIQUID TONER PRINTING - A method of printing using liquid toner generally includes obtaining a cellulose based substrate having a surface layer including nPCC, and printing on the cellulose based substrate using a liquid toner printer to achieve tape pull results of less than about 7%. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100180987 | Methods for Enhancing Hardness and Dimensional Stability of a Wood Element and Wood Product Having Enhanced Hardness - The present disclosure includes methods for enhancing hardness and dimensional stability of a wood element. In one embodiment, the method includes placing the wood element in a compression assembly set to a compression temperature between about 365° F. and about 410° F., heating and compressing the wood element without exceeding the species' threshold pressure value to produce a compressed wood product, heating the compressed wood product to a post-compression temperature between about 275° F. and about 350° F., and holding the compressed wood product at the post-compression temperature for about 30 to about 48 hours. The disclosure also includes a wood product having enhanced hardness. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110047865 | ARTIFICIAL FIRE LOG - Artificial fire logs made from non-petrochemical based, renewable materials are described. These artificial fire logs perform substantially equivalent to existing commercial fire logs. The artificial fire logs are made from cellulosic materials, a lignin containing composition and a non-petroleum based wax where the lignin containing composition comprises lignin and 1,3-propanediol derived from a renewable resource. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110054154 | LIGNOTHERMOPLASTIC - A thermoplastic material made from lignin, polyol and a melting point reducer where the melting point reducer is miscible in the specific polyol employed and where the lignin, polyol and melting point reducer are all miscible when in their melted state. | 03-03-2011 |
