Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A process for producing a polyester film having a primer layer, which comprises coating a crosslinkable aqueous primer coating composition comprising a polyurethane having (0.5-10) ×10 -4 gram equivalent/gram of resin of at least one of a carboxylic acid salt group, a sulfonic acid salt group and a hemisulfate salt group and a polyepoxy compound as a crosslinking agent 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 a drying, stretching and heating treatment.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A process for producing a polyester film having a primer layer, which comprises coating a crosslinkable aqueous primer coating composition comprising a polyurethane having (0.5-10) ×10 -4 gram equivalent/gram of resin of at least one of a carboxylic acid salt group, a sulfonic acid salt group and a hemisulfate salt group and a polyepoxy compound as a crosslinking agent 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 a drying, stretching and heating treatment.
