Abstract
Abstract A heat-sealable coating composition which comprises a copolymer of vinylidene chloride and one or more other ethylenically unsaturated monomers, there being one such copolymer containing at least about 5 weight percent methacrylonitrile, the total vinylidene chloride content of the polymer(s) in the composition being at least about 88 weight percent of the polymer(s), and specified amounts of behenic acid, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, stearamide and glyceryl monostearate; base films coated therewith, and coating baths thereof. The coated film is a versatile packaging film, which not only can be used without difficulty on various types of automatic packaging machines, but also can be used for making various laminated films and as a substrate for extrusion coated films.
