Abstract
Abstract Laminated polyester film having a base layer of biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate or polybutylene terephthalate is laminated directly by heat sealing and without the use of any intervening adhesive with a crystalline butylene terephthalate or hexylene terephthalate copolyester blended with from about 10 to 40 weight % of a polyethylene terephthalate or polybutylene terephthalate, said copolyester containing about from 50 to about 80 mole % of terephthalic acid units based on the total acid component of the copolyester.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A laminated polyester film having improved heat-adhesive strength and slipperiness consisting essentially of a biaxially oriented layer of a terephthalate polymer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate. said biaxially oriented terephthalate polymer having at least one surface laminated directly by heat-sealing and without any added adhesive layer to an axially oriented crystalline copolyester layer, the number of axes of orientation being 1 to 2, said crystalline copolyester layer containing from about 10 to 40 weight % of a terephthalate polymer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, said crystalline copolyester being selected from the group consisting of butylene terephthalate isophthalate copolyester and hexylene terephthalate isophthalate copolyester, and consisting essentially of from about 50 to 80 mole % of terephthalate units based upon the total number of moles of acid components of the copolyester.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
