Surface hydrolyzed olefin-vinyl ester container coatings

摘要

A container is provided with a coating having a frosty appearance comprising an olefin-vinyl ester copolymer the exterior surface of which is hydrolyzed following application of the coating to the exterior surface container. Surface hydrolysis of the olefin-vinyl ester coating significantly improves container-to-container lubricity without appreciably affecting the mechanical properties of the coating.
