An electrically non-conducting film is coated with an aqueous dispersion of an organic, thermoplastic, heat-sealable polymer or copolymer of a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer, said dispersion containing an ethanolamine salt of a fatty alcohol sulphate present in sufficient amount whereby the coated film, after drying, has a surface resistivity not greater than 1 x 1014cm/cm. The films may be: polyester films e.g. polyethylene terephthalate; vinylidene chloride copolymer film; crystallisable-olefine, including ethylene, polymer or copolymer films e.g. polythene; propylene polymer and copolymer films where the propylene is at least 75% insoluble in boiling n-heptane e.g. isotactic polyproplene. The coating may be applied to oriented films and then the film heat set, or to non-oriented film which may then be stretched to orient them. The coating may comprise copolymers of vinylidene chloride with say acrylonitrile methyl or ethyl acrylates, vinyl chloride, acrylic and methacrylic acid, and vinylacetate e.g. vinyledene chloride/acrylonitrile copolymers containing 5 to 20% by weight acrylonitrile and optionally up to 5% acrylic acid; polyvinyl alcohol; polyvinyl acetate; polyvinyl acetals, such as polyvinyl butyral; copolymers of vinyl acetate with vinyl chloride or vinyl propionate; and copolymers of methyl methacrylate and methocrylic acid. Suitable ethanolamine salts include mono-, di-and tri-ethanolamine salts of sulphuric acid esters of alkanols containing from 8 to 22 carbon atom e.g. mono-ethanolamine lauryl sulphate. The film may be pretreated to improve adhesion of the coating e.g. a polyolefine film may be subjected to a spark discharge treatment, or to chemical oxidizing agents such as halogens, potassium permanganate, chromic acid, followed optionally by the deposition of an anchor layer comprising a thermosetting resin as described in Specification 932,652 e.g. a butylated melamine formaldehyde resin. A slip agent and/or anti-blocking agent may be incorporated in the coating. The slip agent may be any comminuted solid insoluble in the coating with a particle size 0.1 to 20 micron e.g. starch, talc, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, diatomaceous earths, silica, kaolin, titanium oxide, triferric tetroxide and other inorganic oxides, carbonates, silicates, aluminates and alumina silicates, polymers such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. The anti-blocking agent may be a waxy additive such as unsaturated and saturated fatty acid oxides e.g. palmitamide, stearamide, distearamide, and alkylene distearamides such as methylene and ethylene distearamide, hydroxylated fatty acid amides such as hydroxy stearamide, hydrogenated castor oil, ester type waxes, ether waxes and other hard waxes. Other additives may be antioxidants, dyes and pigments and U.V. light stabilizers. The aqueous coating dispersion may be applied by coating rolls e.g. gravure rolls. |
