A method for reducing the surface oil absorption of cellulose based substrate is provided, in which a coating composition is applied to said substrate; and in which the coating composition comprises carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and/or a salt of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). A coated paperboard, and a laminate of the coated paperboard with a polymer layer is also provided. The coating composition provides improved surface oil absorption and improved adherence of an overlying polymer layer.

Provided are a polyamide/polyphenylene ether resin composition that has excellent fluidity, heat resistance, and surface impact strength while also having excellent repeated processability and a shaped product that includes this resin composition. The resin composition contains: (a) a polyamide; (b) a polyphenylene ether; (c) a compatibilizer for the (a) polyamide and the (b) polyphenylene ether; and (d) a polyhydric alcohol including at least two hydroxyl groups and having a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of less than 500. The content of the (d) polyhydric alcohol is 0.3 parts by mass to 5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass, in total, of the (a) polyamide and the (b) polyphenylene ether. A ratio of terminal amino group concentration relative to terminal carboxyl group concentration (terminal amino group concentration/terminal carboxyl group concentration) in the (a) polyamide is 0.3 to 0.5. The (a) polyamide forms a continuous phase.
