  • Patent number: 12533870
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymeric film, which may have but is not limited to Biaxially oriented polyester, polypropylene & polylactic acid that has a soft-touch matte coating applied via an in-line coating process. This film also has an increased coefficient of friction of this surface, with a total thickness from 5 to 80 ?m. The film of this invention has excellent suitability as external packaging bags with an excellent matte appearance and soft haptic feel which, when the bags are stacked A side to A side (A side being coated), are not subject to slippage between the same. At the same time, this film has also low friction with metal, so it is easy to handle the film in the film making process which contributes to the excellent productivity.

  • Publication number: 20250178321
    Abstract: A coextruded multi-layer biodegradable composite film was primed either in-line or off-line to form moisture-resistant anchoring structure for EVOH/PHOH barrier coating using primer coating including waterborne polyethyleneimine dispersions and waterborne polyester dispersions. The primed bioplastic composite film was then coated with EVOH/PVOH solution barrier coating. The coated composite film was then metallized through a process of vapor deposition of Aluminum metal in a metallizer chamber. The metallized films made with a process of off-line priming have O2TR in the range of 1.9 to 4.5 cc/m2/day, and MVTR in the range of 0.1 to 0.4 g/m2/day; The metallized films made with a process of in-line priming have O2TR in the range of 0.63 to 1.04 cc/m2/day, and MVTR in the range of 0.027 to 0.075 g/m2/day.
