Abstract: The invention is directed to hot moist food packaging, a method for packaging the same, and a method to impart oil and grease repellency to paper or paperboard. The compositions and methods are especially valuable when used for packaging foods such as hot moist breads, buns and oily starchy foods such as potatoes. The compositions and method ensure that the paper in contact with the food does not stick to the bread bun or starchy foods and cause breaking or fragmentation.

Abstract: Polyurethanes and polyesters are described which are the reaction products of an aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diisocyanate, or of a diacid or diacid derivative respectively, with a diol containing a pendent UV-absorbing moiety, optionally also with one or more other diols or diamines. These UV-absorbing polycondensates can be applied to the surfaces of substrates by exhaustion methods or by spraying and act to protect polymers and dyes from degradation by UV radiation. They are therefore useful, either alone or in combination with other coating materials, for the treatment of wood, paper, textiles, leather or other surfaces which are exposed to degrading radiation.
