Abstract
Abstract A printable film structure comprising a polymeric film substrate having on at least one surface thereof a prime coating of the type which causes destructive film blocking between contacting layers of such coated films, said prime coating having thereon a continuous copolyester coating consisting essentially of the polyester condensation product of the following monomers or their polyester forming equivalence: (a) about 60 to 75 mole % of terephthalic acid; (b) about 15 to 25 mole % of at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of the formula HOOC(CH 2 ) n COOH, wherein n ranges from about 1 to 11; (c) greater than from about 6 up to about 15 mole % of at least one sulfomonomer containing an alkali metal sulfonate group attached to a dicarboxylic aromatic nucleus; and (d) stoichiometric quantities of about 100 mole % of at least one copolymerizable aliphatic or cycloalphatic alkylene glycol having from about 2 to 11 carbon atoms.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
A printable film structure comprising a polymeric film substrate of a member selected from the group consisting of nylon, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, coextrudates and laminates of any two or more thereof, having on at least one surface thereof a prime coating of the type which causes destructive film blocking between contacting layers of such coated films, said prime coating being a coating of a member selected from the group consisting of (A) the reaction product of acidified aminoethylated vinyl polymer and an epoxy resin (B) poly(ethyleneimine) and (C) mixtures thereof, and said prime coating having thereon a continuous copolyester coating consisting essentially of the polyester condensation product of the following monomers or their polyester forming equivalents: (a) about 60 to 70 mole % of terephthalic acid; (b) about 15 to 25 mole % of at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of the formula HOOC(CH 2 ) n COOH, wherein n ranges from about 1 to 11; (c) greater than from about 6 up to about 15 mole % of at least one sulfomonomer containing an alkali metal sulfonate group attached to a dicarboxylic aromatic nucleus; and (d) stoichiometric quantitites of about 100 mole % of at least one copolymerizable aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alkylene glycol having from about 2 to 11 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said substrate is polypropylene interblended with a minor proportion of a member selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, copolymers of ethylene and butene-1, copolymers of propylene and an olefin selected from the group consisting of ethylene and butene-1, terpolymers of olefins, maleic anhydride modified polymers and mixtures thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
