Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a laminated material, the main layer of which consists of a molecular-oriented polyester material which has very good tensile strength characteristics and a sealing layer joined to the main layer of a modified polyester material of the type which is marketed under the trade name PETG and which retains its sealing characteristics in spite of the laminated material being subjected to a joint molecular-oriented stretching.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A heat-sealable laminated material with good tensile strength characteristics for packing purposes, said laminated material consisting of at least one layer of an orientation-stretched polyester material of predominantly crystalline molecular structure, and at least one layer of PETG material of predominantly amorphous molecular structure, said layers being joined by coextrusion and being stretched together after joining, said layer of PETG material of amorphous molecular structure being substantially thinner than the layer of polyester material of crystalline molecular structure and forming a heat-sealable layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A heat-sealable laminated material with good tensile strength characteristics for packing purposes, said laminated material consisting of at least one layer of an orientation-stretched polyester material of predominantly crystalline molecular structure, and at least one layer of PETG material of predominantly amorphous molecular structure, said layers being joined by coextrusion and being stretched together after joining, said layer of PETG material of amorphous molecular structure being substantially thinner than the layer of polyester material of crystalline molecular structure and forming a heat-sealable layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
