An oil-resistant agent containing an amide compound including a bio-based material modified with a long-chain hydrocarbon group having 7 to 40 carbon atoms and an amide group. Also disclosed is a fiber product containing the amide compound, and a water dispersion containing the amide compound.

In the preferred embodiments, the present invention provides substantially improved slit sheet cushioning products by advantageously combining novel paper properties with novel slit patterns for improved features and characteristics. In some illustrative and non-limiting example embodiments, cushioning products of the present invention can include, e.g., a novel slit sheet material in combination with extensible paper employed as, e.g., a cushioning pad or as cushioning within an envelope product, wherein the cushioning product can be substantially more resilient, but, yet, e.g., thinner for better utilization of space.

The present disclosure provides paper wraps, paper wrapped products, such as rolled bath tissue, paper towel products, or bundles of rolled bath tissue or paper towels, and methods for covering a product or bundled products in a paper wrap. For example, printed paper wraps and their use are described, wherein the printed paper wraps comprise at least one heat-sealable adhesive that may be applied in varying locations, coverage levels, and patterns comprising different seal strengths, which may be sealed using heat and/or pressure external to the products for packaging and protective purposes.

The invention discloses a paperboard for packaging of a heat-sealable packaging material comprising: —a paperboard substrate comprising a first and a second side, —a first and an optional second dispersion coating layer on the first side, which first and optional second dispersion coating layer provides a barrier against at least one of liquid, moisture, grease and gas, —an extrusion coated barrier layer comprising a polyolefin, wherein the first and optional second dispersion coating layer is applied between the paperboard substrate and the extrusion coated barrier layer, and wherein the coat weight of the extrusion coated barrier layer is less than 15 gsm. The packaging material according of the invention minimizes the amount of plastic coating, but still provides the needed barrier properties for the packaging of food and/or liquid. The packaging material has especially been shown to provide a longer shelf life for food items packed in a packaging made from the material. Especially, the packaging material provides gas-, liquid and/or grease barrier properties. Although the packaging material comprises such low amount of extruded thermoplastic polymers, the material is readily heat-sealable.
