Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A polymer film laminate possessing a low coefficient of friction, good receptivity for water-based coatings and good optical clarity which comprises: (a) an upper layer coextensively adherent to the upper surface of a core layer (b), said upper layer (a) being derived from an isotactic polypropylene polymer containing an anti-blocking effective amount of anti-blocking agent and a coefficient of friction-reducing amount of silicone oil; (b) a core layer derived from an isotactic polypropylene; and, (c) a lower layer coextensively adherent to the lower surface of core layer (b), said lower layer (c) being derived from an isotactic polypropylene polymer containing an anti-blocking effective amount of anti-blocking agent, said layers (a), (b) and (c) each being essentially devoid of any substance which would appreciably reduce the receptivity of the exposed surfaces of layers (a) and (c) to water-based coatings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
A polymer film laminate possessing a low coefficient of friction, good receptivity for water-based coatings and good optical clarity which comprises: (a) an upper layer coextensively adherent to the upper surface of a core layer (b), said upper layer (a) being derived from an isotactic polypropylene polymer containing an anti-blocking effective amount of anti-blocking agent and a coefficient of friction-reducing amount of silicone oil; (b) a core layer derived from an isotactic polypropylene; and, (c) a lower layer coextensively adherent to the lower surface of core layer (b), said lower layer (c) being derived from an isotactic polypropylene polymer containing an anti-blocking effective amount of anti-blocking agent, said layers (a), (b) and (c) each being essentially devoid of any substance which would appreciably reduce the receptivity of the exposed surfaces of layers (a) and (c) to water-based coatings.

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
52 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words

Claim 13
Dependent Claim
33 words
The laminate of claim 1 in which from about 10 to about 70 percent of the total surface area of the anti-blocking agent extends beyond the exposed surface of layers (a) and (c).
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
63 words
The laminate of claim 1 in which the isotactic polypropylene constituting each of layers (a), (b) and (c) possesses a melt index at 230° C. of from about 1.0 to about 25.0, a crystalline melting point of about 160° C., a number average molecular weight range of from about 25,000 to about 100,000 and a density of from about 0.90 to about 0.91.
Claim 15
