Abstract
The invention relates to a biaxially oriented, sealable polyester film with at least one base layer (B), with a sealable outer layer (A) and with another, non-sealable outer layer (C). The sealable outer layer (A) has a minimum sealing temperature (fin) of not more than 110° C. and a seal seam strength (fin) of at least 1.3 N/15 mm of film width. The two outer layers (A) and (C) are characterized by particular features. The film of the invention is particularly suitable for use in flexible packaging, and particularly and specifically for use on systems which operate in a vacuum.
Claims9
A coextruded, transparent, biaxially oriented, sealable polyester film with at least one base layer (B), with a sealable outer layer (A) on one surface of the base layer (B), and with another outer layer (C) on the other surface of the base layer (B), where the sealable outer layer (A) has a minimum sealing temperature (fin) of not more than 110° C. and a seal seam strength (fin) of at least 1.3 N/15 mm of film width, and wherein the two outer layers (A) and (C) are characterized by the following features:
- Sealable outer layer (A):
- a) comprises particles composed of synthetic SiO2 at a concentration of from about 500 to about 5000 ppm, with a median particle diameter d50 of from about 2.5 to about 10 μm, the SPAN98 of the diameter being less than or equal to 1.80,
- b) has roughness Ra greater than 60 nm,
- c) has a side A/side A coefficient of friction smaller than 0.8, and non-sealable outer layer (C):
- d) comprises particles composed of synthetic SiO2 at a concentration of from above 1000 to about 5000 ppm with a median particle diameter d50 of from 1.5 to about 6 μm, the SPAN98 of the diameter being less than or equal to 2.0,
- e) has roughness Ra such that 30≦Ra≦150 nm,
- f) has a side C/side C coefficient of friction smaller than 0.6.
