Oil Resistant Article

Abstract:

An oil resistant article is described that does not contain any fluorocarbon compounds. The oil resistant article includes a basesheet formed from pulp fibers. The basesheet is coated on at least one surface with an oil resistant coating. The basesheet is formed without having to use any highly refined fibers. Various chemical treatments are incorporated into the basesheet and the oil resistant coating is formed from particularly selected polymers that produces an oil resistant article having a relatively high permeability and excellent oil resistant properties.
