Abstract
The invention relates to method for producing viscosity controlled cellulosic material having a viscosity value in a range between 150 ml/g and 500 ml/g in a continuous process, the method comprising the following steps: i) forming a cellulose-water mixture (15) comprising water and chemically treated wood-based cellulosic material, the cellulose-water mixture (15) having a dry matter content between 3% and 20%, ii) treating the formed cellulose-water mixture (15) in a plasticization step (100) at a temperature between 130° C. and 200° C., and a pressure between 3 bars and 15 bars, at least 5 minutes and 120 minutes at the most, while mixing the cellulose-water mixture (15), and feeding hot water and/or water steam to the cellulose-water mixture, thereby obtaining a treated mixture (18), and iii) depressurizing the treated mixture (18) in a depressurizing step (105) in a controlled manner, thereby obtaining the viscosity controlled cellulosic material (20). This invention further relates to a viscosity controlled cellulosic material and a system for producing viscosity controlled cellulosic material.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
