Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
181 words
A heat sealable coated plastic film comprising a polyolefin or polyester plastic film substrate coated with a composition, which comprises an aqueous dispersion containing, in substantially particulate form, a copolymer of: (a) at least one α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid, in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of the copolymer, (b) at least one acrylic ester selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylates whose alkyl group contains one to twelve carbon atoms and alkyl methacrylates whose alkyl group contains one to twelve carbon atoms, and (c) at least one copolymerizable hydroxyalkyl ester of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, the amount of component (c) being from 0.1 to 80 percent by weight of the copolymer; said ingredients being incorporated in the copolymer in proportions such that the copolymer has an average molecular weight of from 5,000 to 150,000 a second-order transition temperature of from 30° to 70° C., and comprises particles whose size is primarily from 0.01 to 1.0 micron; and said copolymer being incorporated in the aqueous dispersion in an amount of from 10 to 60 percent by weight thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
181 words
A heat sealable coated plastic film comprising a polyolefin or polyester plastic film substrate coated with a composition, which comprises an aqueous dispersion containing, in substantially particulate form, a copolymer of: (a) at least one α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid, in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of the copolymer, (b) at least one acrylic ester selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylates whose alkyl group contains one to twelve carbon atoms and alkyl methacrylates whose alkyl group contains one to twelve carbon atoms, and (c) at least one copolymerizable hydroxyalkyl ester of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, the amount of component (c) being from 0.1 to 80 percent by weight of the copolymer; said ingredients being incorporated in the copolymer in proportions such that the copolymer has an average molecular weight of from 5,000 to 150,000 a second-order transition temperature of from 30° to 70° C., and comprises particles whose size is primarily from 0.01 to 1.0 micron; and said copolymer being incorporated in the aqueous dispersion in an amount of from 10 to 60 percent by weight thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The film of claim 1, wherein said hydroxyalkyl ester of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid is incorporated in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 30 percent by weight of the copolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The film of any one of claims 1 or 2, wherein the hydroxyalkyl ester of an α,β-unsatured carboxylic acid is 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The film of any one of claims 1 or 2 further comprising in component (c) at least one copolymerizable vinyl monomer selected from the group consisting of epoxy-substituted esters of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, vinyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, α,β-unsaturated carbonamides, vinyl esters of aliphatic acids, and vinyl chloride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
The film of claim 1, wherein the plastic substrate is a polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene or polyester film.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The film of claim 1, wherein the plastic substrate is a biaxially oriented polypropylene film.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The film of claim 1, wherein the copolymer has an average molecular weight of from 10,000 to 80,000.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
The film of claim 1, wherein at least 90% of the particles of the copolymer possess a particle size of from 0.01 to 0.5 micron.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The film of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the carboxyl groups of the copolymer are neutralized with a volatile base.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
23 words
The film of claim 1, in which a further coating formed from an aqueous dispersion of a vinylidene chloride copolymer is formed thereon.
