  • Patent number: 11752678
    Abstract: A transparent, single- or multilayer, biaxially oriented polyester film with reduced oxygen transmission rates, having a barrier coating on at least one film surface, where the barrier coating is the drying product of an aqueous coating dispersion or aqueous coating solution, that includes at least one polyanion and at least one polyethyleneimine, where the polyanion has neutralized acid groups which are carboxylate, phosphate and/or sulfate groups, and the dry thickness d of the coating is in the range of 15 nm?d<200 nm. The biaxially oriented, coated polyester film has transparency?88% and oxygen permeation lower at least by a factor of two than that of the uncoated biaxially oriented film. A process for the production of the biaxially oriented, coated polyester film, and also its use as oxygen-barrier film.

  • Patent number: 11040524
    Abstract: The invention relates to biaxially oriented, UV-stabilized polyester films incorporating silicon dioxide particles as light-scattering particles and a UV stabilizer; a process for producing the same and to use thereof in greenhouse blinds. The invention particularly relates to single- or multilayer polyester film with transparency from 70 to 92 %, where: the film includes at least 1.0% by weight to at most 2.5% by weight of SiO2, with the d50 value of these SiO2 particles ranging from 3 to 9 ?m, the SV value of the film is at least 700, the scattering factor SF of the film is at least 2 and not more than 8, the haze of the film is from 60 to 95%, and the clarity of the film is from 15 to 40%; and all of the external layers comprise at least 0.3 % by weight of an organic UV stabilizer.

  • Publication number: 20200231772
    Abstract: A single-layer or multi-layer, biaxially oriented polyester film is provided bearing on at least one film surface a coating for transparency increase. The film has a particle fraction of not more than 0.5% and the coating is a dried water-based or solvent-based solution and/or dispersion having a dry coat thickness of 60-130 nm. The coating includes at least one acrylic acid-based and/or methacrylic acid-based polymer and at least one alkylphosphonate and/or oligo-alkylphosphonate. The coating has a refractive index n<1.64 and a phosphorus fraction of between 2 and 18%. The inventive film is suitable for producing greenhouse energy-saving sheets, particularly for the growing of plants with exacting light demands such as tomatoes. The film has specific transparency properties, high UV stability and good fire properties. The invention further relates to methods for polyester film production and also to the use thereof in greenhouses.

  • Publication number: 20200079921
    Abstract: The invention relates to a single- or multilayer polyester film with transparency at least 93%, where the film includes a UV stabilizer in all film layers and has a permanent antifog coating on at least one side. The permanent antifog coating is the dried product of an aqueous coating dispersion having the following components: a) from 1 to 15% by weight (based on the coating dispersion) of a soil release polymer and b) from 3 to 15% by weight (based on the coating dispersion) of a hygroscopic, porous material. The invention further relates to a process for the production of the film and to its use.
