Abstract: A mono or multi-layer biaxially oriented polyester film is described. Also described, is a process for producing the mono or multi-layer biaxially oriented polyester film. Uses of a surface-treated filler material product as a voiding agent in the mono or multi-layer biaxially oriented polyester film, an article that includes the mono or multi-layer biaxially oriented polyester film as well as the use of the mono or multi-layer biaxially oriented polyester film in packaging products are also described. The packaging products can include: paper and glass coverings, insulating materials, solar, marine and aviation applications, science, electronic and acoustic applications, wires, cables, radio frequency identifications, flexible circuits, graphic arts, filter products, cosmetic products, household products, imaging and recording media, or industrial products.

Abstract: An image-receiving layer (1) for receiving information (5) transferred by transfer thermography, and the use of same in portable data carriers. According to the invention, the image-receiving layer (1) is formed of two parts, a carrier layer (2) as well as an acceptor layer (3), and is produced by co-extruding two source materials, one of which being an amorphous polyester, e.g. PETG, the other a mixture of PETG with 10 to 90 wt. % styrene polymer.
