  • Patent number: 11660844
    Abstract: A composite film includes a) a self-supporting layer of a polymer film (such as a polyester), b) an optional primer layer on the polymer film layer, wherein the primer layer includes a PVdX (X being halo), acrylic or vinyl resin; and c) a layer of heat seal composition on the primer layer, wherein the heat seal composition includes a polyolefin plastomer (POP) resin and a tackifier that constitutes at least 20 wt % of the heat seal composition. The composite film may be formed by applying a coating composition including the heat seal composition in a solvent to a primer layer on the polymer film or directly on the polymer film in absence of the optional primer layer, and then evaporating the solvent. The composite film may be heat-sealed to a surface of a container or a self-supporting film.
