<p>A method of manufacturing a moulded pulp object comprises providing a pulp slurry including pulp fibres in an aqueous suspension; forming a layer of pulp (6) on the surface of a mould tool (2) to create a three dimensional moulded pulp object having a first surface (10) facing inwardly in contact with the mould tool and a second surface (12) facing outwardly from the mould tool (2); and then applying a surfactant proof coating to the three dimensional moulded pulp object after it has been formed on the mould tool (2). The surfactant proof coating may be applied while the pulp object is retained on the mould tool (2) or while the pulp object is held on the transfer tool (14), or when the pulp object is located on the drying conveyor (18).</p> |
