Abstract

Abstract A polyester film having on at least one surface thereof a primer layer comprising a crosslinked product of a polyurethane having at least one functional group selected from a carboxyl group, a sulfo group, a hemisulfate group, and salts of these groups and a polyepoxy compound. The polyester film having a primer layer can be produced by coating an aqueous primer coating composition comprising a polyurethane having at least one of a carboxylic acid salt group, a sulfonic acid salt group and a hemisulfate salt group on at least one surface of a polyester film before its crystallization and orientation are completed, and thereafter completing the crystallization and orientation by subjecting the coated film to drying, stretching and heat-treatment, and is useful as a base film for magnetic recording media.
