BELAGD POLYESTERFILM OCH DAERAV FRAMSTAELLT POLYESTER/POLYOLEFINLAMINAT

摘要

A coated polyester film suitable for producing polyester/polyolefin laminates consists of biaxially oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate) film coated with a cross-linked styrene copolymer by deposition from an aqueous coating composition which comprises (A) a copolymer containing 50-75 mol % of styrene units and 25-50 mole % of comonomer units providing carboxylic groups (10-50 mole %) and alkyl carboxylate groups (20-50 mole %) and (B) a melamine/formaldehyde cross-linking agent. The styrene copolymer (A) is preferably a water-soluble copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride partially converted into butyl ester and partially neutralized with ammonia, and the cross-linking agent (B) is conveniently hexamethoxymethylmelamine. The polyolefin layer in the laminates produced may in particular be of low-density polyethylene.
