Abstract
Abstract A process for the production of light-polarizing films containing polyvinyl alcohol, dichroic dye-producing components, optionally other dye-producing components, optionally additives, and optionally surface active compounds, wherein the films comprise two or more layers and said film layers have a sudden change in composition at the layer phase boundaries between at least two layers, and said layers are applied to a substrate by means of a multiple coater.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A process for the production of light-polarizing cast films that comprise two or more layers and have a sudden change in their composition at the phase boundary between at least two layers, comprising applying aqueous solutions of polyvinyl alcohol and dichroic dye-producing components to a substrate in two or more layers by means of a multiple coater and drying said layers, after which the dried film is removed from the substrate and is monoaxially stretched.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for the production of light-polarizing cast films that comprise two or more layers and have a sudden change in their composition at the phase boundary between at least two layers, comprising applying aqueous solutions of polyvinyl alcohol and dichroic dye-producing components to a substrate in two or more layers by means of a multiple coater and drying said layers, after which the dried film is removed from the substrate and is monoaxially stretched.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which the layers are applied in wet thicknesses of 10 to 500 μm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which the film removed from the substrate is stretched by 300 to 1000% at temperatures of 60° to 180° C.
