Abstract
The invention relates to a heat-sealing system consisting of an olefin polymer or olefin copolymer A, a methacrylate copolymer B, a graft polymer AB that is composed of the aforementioned components, a polyester C and an optional polymer D or an optional polymer blend DA, in addition to a solvent or solvent mixture L. The heat-sealing system is characterised by a high heat resistance, excellent barrier properties and short sealing times in relation to various plastics and aluminium foil or PET film.
Claims15
A heat-sealable coating system in the form of a film-forming dispersion and suitable for sealing different kinds of substrates, comprising:
- polymer types, A, B, AB, and C
- optionally the polymer types D or DA, and
- an organic solvent system L,
- wherein
- polymer type A is an olefin polymer or olefin copolymer,
- polymer type B is a (meth)acrylate copolymer containing standard (meth)acrylates and in total up to 15% by weight of methacrylic acid and/or acrylic acid and/or another polymerizable acid, relative to polymer type B,
- polymer type AB is a graft polymer of polymer type A and polymer type B, and
- polymer type C is a polyester or a polyester mixture;
- optionally there is also an addition of polymer type D which is polyvinyl chloride or polymer type DA which is a polyamide, and
- the amount of polymer type A is between 15% and 65% by weight,
- the amount of polymer type B is between 15% and 65% by weight,
- the amount of polymer type AB is between 15% and 70% by weight,
- the amount of polymer type C is between 5% and 50% by weight,
- the amount of polymer type D is between 0% and 10% by weight,
- the amount of polymer type DA is between 0% and 10% by weight, based on the total mass of the polymer types A, B, AB, C, D, and DA,
- and the mass ratio of the total of polymer types A, B, AB, C, D and DA to the mass of the solvent or solvent mixture L is between 5:1 and 1:5.
