Heat-shrinkable polyester films

摘要

Heat-shrinkable polyester films suitable for label use, wherein the value of tan delta for dynamic viscoelasticity in a main shrinkage direction of the film is 0.15 or higher at 65 DEG C and takes a maximum of 0.40 or higher at a temperature of 65 DEG C to 100 DEG C both inclusive, and the heat shrinkability in the main shrinkage direction of the film after treatment in hot water at 80 DEG C for 10 seconds is 30% or higher, have excellent shrinkage characteristics over a wide range of temperature extending from low temperatures to high temperatures, particularly in the low temperature range, which may cause only rare occurrence of shrinkage spots, wrinkles, strains, longitudinal sinking, and other defects during heat shrinkage, and which may further have excellent break resistance.
