  • Patent number: 5294483
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing a thin copolyester coating on paper wherein the coating has good peel strength which comprises extruding a film of copolyester onto paper to form a coated sheet and passing the paper through a nip formed by a pair of cooperating chill and pressure rolls, wherein the copolyester consists essentially of repeat units from terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, about 1.5-20 mol % of an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic glycol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and 0 to about 1.0 mol % of a polyfunctional branching agent. Also disclosed is the coated paper prepared by this method.
