Claim 3
Dependent Claim
72 words
A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein said coated film is progressively passed through said heating and drying zone at a lineal speed of about 400 feet per minute or more, wherein the coating solution is applied to one side of the polyolefin film and wherein the finished coating is applied at a level of about 0.3 to about 0.8 pounds per ream, on a dry basis, of the polyolefin film.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method in accordance with claim 2 wherein said coating solution contains between about 10 and about 20 percent by weight total solids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein said polyolefin film is subjected to corona treatment prior to coating thereon of said solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
A printable, glueable, overcoated polyolefin film comprising a polyolefin film and an adherent, continuous coating thereon of a cured insolubilized amino-aldehyde polyvinyl alcohol composition having a Visking reading of between about 46 and about 52 dynes/cm2, said coating being present at a level of between about 0.1 and about 1.5 pounds per ream per surface of said film.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
A printable, glueable, overcoated polyolefin film comprising a polyolefin film and an adherent, continuous coating thereon of a cured insolubilized amino-aldehyde polyvinyl alcohol composition having a Visking reading of between about 46 and about 52 dynes/cm2, said coating being present at a level of between about 0.1 and about 1.5 pounds per ream per surface of said film.
