VTT accelerates commercialisation of foam forming technology

Foam forming technology offers companies major cost saving possibilities in paper and paperboard manufacturing. It also expands the use of natural fibres in the production of recyclable and lightweight products. Together with an international industrial consortium, VTT has launched a project to promote the commercialisation of the technology.
In the foam forming process air – in the form of tiny bubbles – is mixed to a water-fibre suspension. This improves the properties of paper and paperboard as well as the raw material and energy efficiency. The aim of the 2.5 years project is to speed up the implementation of the technology towards industrial scale (News Item VTT, 20 April 2015).
