Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A process for the production of a synthetic linear polyester film which comprises melt extruding a substantially amorphous polyester film, drawing the film in the longitudinal direction, thereafter applying a primer coating comprising a thermosetting acrylic or methacrylic composition, wherein the acrylic or methacrylic component is crosslinkable, to one or both sides of said film, then drawing the coated film in the transverse direction, and heat setting the biaxially oriented and coated film, whereby a primer coating of the thermoset acrylic or methacrylic composition, wherein the acrylic or methacrylic component is thermoset, of thickness of at least 10 -7 inch is obtained, and then recycling the coated film by re-extruding the same with fresh polyester.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A process for the production of a synthetic linear polyester film which comprises melt extruding a substantially amorphous polyester film, drawing the film in the longitudinal direction, thereafter applying a primer coating comprising a thermosetting acrylic or methacrylic composition, wherein the acrylic or methacrylic component is crosslinkable, to one or both sides of said film, then drawing the coated film in the transverse direction, and heat setting the biaxially oriented and coated film, whereby a primer coating of the thermoset acrylic or methacrylic composition, wherein the acrylic or methacrylic component is thermoset, of thickness of at least 10 -7 inch is obtained, and then recycling the coated film by re-extruding the same with fresh polyester.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the coating composition comprises a polymer or copolymer of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or their esters containing crosslinkable functional groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 2, in which the functional groups of the coating polymer or copolymer are crosslinked with an amine/formaldehyde condensation product.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the film resulting from the extrusion of the recycled coated film and fresh polyester comprises up to 1.0% by weight of the thermosetting acrylic or methacrylic coating composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process according to claim 2, in which said polymer or copolymer comprises ethyl acrylate and is admixed with the condensation product of an amine with formaldehyde.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the synthetic linear polyester is polyethylene terephthalate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the film is drawn longitudinally before coating to about 3.5 times its original length and the coated film is then drawn transversely to about 3.5 times its original width and the thus drawn film is heat set at about 200° C.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the film is drawn longitudinally at a temperature of 78° C. to 100° C. and transversely at a temperature of 80° C. to 125° C.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
40 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the thermosetting acrylic or methacrylic composition is derived from a polymer or copolymer of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid containing hydroxy, carboxyl, amide or oxirane functional groups and an amine condensation product.
