Cellulose suspension and processes for its production

Abstract

The present invention relates to cellulosic particles, a suspension of cellulosic particles and a process for the production of a suspension of cellulosic particles, whereby the cellulosic material is never dried between the dissolution of the cellulose and the disintegration of the suspended cellulose fibers.

1 .- 10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . A suspension comprising from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percentage, preferably from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percentage of cellulosic particles, wherein the cellulosic particles were never dried during their production. 
     
     
         12 . The suspension according to  claim 11 , wherein the cellulosic particles of the suspension comprise a large share of additives. 
     
     
         13 . The suspension according to  claim 11 , wherein the cellulosic particles of the suspension comprise from about 1 to about 200 weight percentage, in relation to the cellulose amount, of incorporated additives selected from the group consisting of pigments, titanium oxide, barium sulphate, ion-exchangers, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, activated carbon, polymer superabsorbers and flame-retardant agents. 
     
     
         14 . Cellulosic particles having a water content of about 80 to about 99.9 weight percentage wherein the cellulosic particles are not dried during production. 
     
     
         15 . The particles in accordance with  claim 14 , wherein the particles contain a large share of additives. 
     
     
         16 . The particles according to  claim 14 , wherein the particles comprise from about 1 to about 200 weight percentage, in relation to the cellulose amount, of incorporated additives, selected from the group consisting of pigments, titanium oxide, barium sulphate, ion-exchangers, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, activated carbon, polymer superabsorbers and flame-retardant agent. 
     
     
         17 . The particles according to  claim 13 , wherein the titanium oxide is substoichiometric titanium oxide. 
     
     
         18 . The particles according to  claim 16 , wherein the titanium oxide is substoichiometric titanium oxide.
