Abstract: Biaxially stretched film with polymeric constituents formed mainly of polyester in which the film includes at least one copper salt and one halide, with the resulting film having an AC (alternating current) dielectric strength of at least 100 kV/mm at 23° C. and 50 Hz. The invention further relates to the use of the film of the invention, in particular in solar modules, and also to a process for its production.

Abstract: The invention relates to biaxially oriented polyester films which contain 0.25-20% by weight (based on the weight of the film) of a hydrolysis stabilizer based on epoxidized fatty acid esters and/or epoxidized fatty acid glycerides, and a chain extender. Such films find use in outdoor applications, as a ribbon cable, as a backside laminate of solar modules and in electrical insulation applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flame-retardant oriented thermoplastic film with a thickness in the range from 0.5 to 12 &mgr;m. The film comprises at least one flame retardant and has a conductive coating. This film may also possess at least one functionality additional to the flame retardancy. The expression “additional functionality” comprehends the shrinkage and the solderability. All films of this kind feature low flammability and good dielectric properties. In particular, they have a high tracking resistance and a low dissipation factor, and may also have one or more further functionalities. The invention additionally relates to a process for producing the polyester film and to its use in film capacitors.

Abstract: Process for producing biaxially oriented PET film for use in film capacitors with SMD capabilities and its use for SMD-technology film capacitors The invention describes a process for producing a biaxially oriented film of thickness <10 &mgr;m, where a polymer melt is extruded through the gap of an extrusion die onto a chill roll, stretched longitudinally and transversely and relaxed longitudinally by >0.1% and transversely by >3%, where the edges of the film are held during the longitudinal and transverse relaxation and the film is wound up.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is described, which comprises a support film formed of a co-extruded, biaxially oriented multilayer polypropylene film and an adhesive coating applied to one surface of the film. The support film is composed of at least first and second layers having different compositions. The second layer of the support film, which faces away from the adhesive coating, has a thickness of less than one third of the total thickness of the adhesive tape, and contains an anti-adhesive substance.
