Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to coated paper-like plastic films having a microporous surface layer and a method of producing the same. Such a coated plastic film is produced by coating plastic polymeric films with a coating composition comprising a resin, a plasticizer, an inorganic fine powder and dimethylformamide and then the coated plastic film is treated with water and subjected to drying. Also, in accordance with this invention, the coated plastic film is subjected to a heat-treatment before or after the coated plastic film is treated with water or after the coated plastic polymeric film is dried.

A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A COATED PLASTIC FILM FOR SYNTHETIC PAPER, HAVING A MICROPOROUS SURFACE LAYER FOR USE IN THE GRAPHIC ART WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF: A. COATING AT LEAST ONE SURFACE OF A POLYMERIC PLASTIC FILM SUBSTANCE, THE SURFACE OF WHICH IS SOLUBLE OR SWELLABLE IN DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE, WITH A COATING COMPOSITION COMPRISING (1) A RESIN PREPARED BY USING AT LEAST ONE OF THE MAIN MONOMERS FROM WHICH THE POLYMERIC PLASTIC FILM SUBSTRATE IS MADE; (2) A PLASTICIZER FOR SAID RESIN; (3) AN INORGANIC POWDER, AND (4) DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE AS THE SOLVENT TO FORM A SWOLLEN COATING LAYER ON THE SAID PLASTIC FILM; B. PARTIALLY DISSOLVING AND SWELLING THE PLASTIC FILM SUBSTRATE BY THE ACTION OF THE DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE COMPONENT OF THE COATING COMPOSITION THEREON; C. SUBSEQUENTLY CONVERTING SAID SWOLLEN SURFACE LAYER INTO A MICROPOROUS SURFACE LAYER BY CONTACTING SAID COATED SUBSTRATE WITH HOT WATER IN THE ORDER OF 70* - 100*C WHEREBY THE DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE IS LEACHED FROM THE SWOLLEN COATING AND SUBSTRATE TO PROVIDE A MICROPOROUS SURFACE COATING ON SAID SUBSTRATE; D. HEAT TREATING SAID MICROPOROUS COATED LAYER TO STRENGTHEN SAME; E. DRYING SAID COATED PLASTIC FILM.
