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: A coated, oriented plastic film material is provided wherein the coating is applied in an aqueous medium comprising a water dispersible copolyester consisting essentially of the condensation product of components A, B, C and D or their polyester forming equivalents as follows:(A) about 65 to 95 mole percent of isophthalic acid;(B) about 0 to 30 mole percent of at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of the formula HOOC(CH.sub.2).sub.n COOH, wherein n ranges from about 1-11;(C) about 5 to about 15 mole percent of at least one sulfomonomer containing an alkali metal sulfonate group attached to a dicarboxylic aromatic nucleus, and(D) stoichiometric quantities of about 100 mole percent of at least one copolymerizable aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alkylene glycol having about from 2 to 11 carbon atoms.The copolyester coating layer may be applied to the film, e.g., polyester film, at any suitable stage during manufacture of the film, i.e., before, during, or after the stretching operations.
