Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 168 words
A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A POLYOLEFIN FILM HAVING AN ADHERENT, LIGHWEIGHT, PRINTABLE, GLUEABLE OVERCOAT, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF PROVIDING A POLYOLEFIN FILM, PROVIDING AN AQUEOUS COATING SOLUTION OF A STABILIZED AMINO-FORMALDEHYDE POLYVINYL ALCOHOL POLYMER COMPOSITION AND AN ACID CATALYST FOR THE COMPOSITION, SAID COATING SOLUTION CONTAINING BETWEEN ABOUT 5 AND ABOUT 30 PERCENT BY WEIGHT TOTAL SOLIDS, UNIFORMLY COATING AT LEAST ONE SURFACE OF THE POLYOLEFIN FILM WITH SAID COATING SOLUTION IN AN AMOUNT TO PROVIDE A PREDETERMINED FINISHED COATING LEVEL ON A SOLID BASIS OF FROM ABOUT 0.1 TO ABOUT 1.5 POUNDS PER REAM OF THE POLYOLEFIN FILM PER COATED SURFACE OF THE FILM, AND PROGRESSIVELY PASSING THE COATED FILM THROUGH A HEATINGAND DRYING ZONE WHICH IS A FORCED AIR DRYER HAVING A DRYING AIR TEMPERATURE OF BETWEEN ABOUT 380*F AND ABOUT 425*F., TO DRY THE WATERFROM AND CURE THE SOLUTION COATING TO PROVIDE A POLYOLEFIN FILM HAVING AN ADHERENT, LIGHTWEIGHT, PRINTABLE AND GLUEABLE OVERCOATING HAVING A VISKING READING OF BETWEEN ABOUT 46 AND ABOUT 52 DYNES/CM2.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 168 words
A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A POLYOLEFIN FILM HAVING AN ADHERENT, LIGHWEIGHT, PRINTABLE, GLUEABLE OVERCOAT, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF PROVIDING A POLYOLEFIN FILM, PROVIDING AN AQUEOUS COATING SOLUTION OF A STABILIZED AMINO-FORMALDEHYDE POLYVINYL ALCOHOL POLYMER COMPOSITION AND AN ACID CATALYST FOR THE COMPOSITION, SAID COATING SOLUTION CONTAINING BETWEEN ABOUT 5 AND ABOUT 30 PERCENT BY WEIGHT TOTAL SOLIDS, UNIFORMLY COATING AT LEAST ONE SURFACE OF THE POLYOLEFIN FILM WITH SAID COATING SOLUTION IN AN AMOUNT TO PROVIDE A PREDETERMINED FINISHED COATING LEVEL ON A SOLID BASIS OF FROM ABOUT 0.1 TO ABOUT 1.5 POUNDS PER REAM OF THE POLYOLEFIN FILM PER COATED SURFACE OF THE FILM, AND PROGRESSIVELY PASSING THE COATED FILM THROUGH A HEATINGAND DRYING ZONE WHICH IS A FORCED AIR DRYER HAVING A DRYING AIR TEMPERATURE OF BETWEEN ABOUT 380*F AND ABOUT 425*F., TO DRY THE WATERFROM AND CURE THE SOLUTION COATING TO PROVIDE A POLYOLEFIN FILM HAVING AN ADHERENT, LIGHTWEIGHT, PRINTABLE AND GLUEABLE OVERCOATING HAVING A VISKING READING OF BETWEEN ABOUT 46 AND ABOUT 52 DYNES/CM2.
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.
