Abstract: An antistatic polymer film having a coated surface that resists the formation of static. The antistatic coating on the film layer includes a polythiophene, a surfactant and water. The ratio of the surfactant to the polythiophene can be at least about 1:1 by weight of said coating. In addition, the coating can contain less than about 1 percent by weight of polymeric binder and can also contain less than about 1 percent by weight of organic solvent.

Abstract: The present invention provides a coated polymer film having an essentially streak-free coated surface that resists the formation of fog. The film includes a self-supporting polymer film layer, and an anti-fog coating on the film layer. The anti-fog coating, which can also be applied to alternate substrates, consisting essentially of a copolyester binder and an anionic surfactant, wherein the surfactant contains less than about 0.5 weight percent of a fluorosurfactant. A slip agent can also be included in the anti-fog coating.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a subbing coating composition for polyester films comprising:I polymer A having attached to its backbonecarboxyl groups and/orgroups which form carboxyl groups upon hydrolysis anda polymer B having attached to its backbone --SO.sub.3 X and/or --PO.sub.3 XY groups, whereinX and Y are identical or different and denote an alkali metal, ammonium or hydrogenorII a polymer A' having attached to its backbonecarboxyl groups and/or groups which form carboxyl groups upon hydrolysis, and--SO.sub.3 X and/or --PO.sub.3 XY groups, wherein X and Y are identical or different and denote an alkali metal, ammonium or hydrogenandIII an organic compound C having at least two free hydroxy groups, wherein the coating composition does not comprise addition polymerizable compounds.
