Abstract: A non-fluorocarbon oil and grease barrier packaging for storing materials, particularly products that need oil and grease resistant characteristics. The barrier packaging does not contain fluorocarbons, which improves the environmental rating of the oil and grease barrier packaging. The packaging is made by applying an acrylate based overprint varnish to a substrate and then curing the overprint varnish with a curable energy source, which regulates a cross-link density of the overprint varnish. Application can be flexography, rotogravure, or either rod or blade coated. The overprint varnish possesses oil and grease resistant characteristics, which allows packaging producers to forego use of oil and grease resistant coated substrates in their packaging manufacturing processes.

Abstract: A non-fluorocarbon oil and grease barrier packaging for storing materials, particularly products that need oil and grease resistant characteristics and are used in high temperature applications. The barrier packaging does not contain fluorocarbons, which improves the environmental rating of the oil and grease barrier packaging. The packaging is made by applying a starch based coating having a solids content in a range about 10% to about 35% to a substrate and forming the package from the substrate. The starch based coating preferably contains a starch derivative, a flexibility enhancing agent, a rheological agent, and a scorch resistant agent. When the package is heated, no fluorocarbons are emitted as result of heating the package.

Abstract: The present invention provides non-ionic carbohydrate based ethers having surfactant and other valuable properties of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group containing 1-20 carbon atoms, and R.sub.1 is an aryl, aralkyl, alkyl or alkenyl group containing 1-20 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A sulfonated 1-O substituted glucoside having the formula: ##STR1## wherein: (a) R is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl or aralkyl,(b) one or both of the R.sub.1 groups is either substituted or unsubstitutedMO.sub.3 S--CH.sub.2 --CH.dbd.CH--CH.sub.2).sub.nwherein M is H, a metal ion or ammonium, andn is an integer from 0 to 18, and(c) any remaining R.sub.1 group is H; useful as an oil recovery agent.
