  • Publication number: 20240101772
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a laminated polyester film that has high reusability and is suitable for processing during a post process. This laminated polyester film comprises a polyester film and a layer X that satisfies the following conditions. Condition 1: 20??XP?45 Condition 2: 3.0??XH?10?XP (mN/m): Polar component of the surface free energy of the layer X ?XH (mN/m): Hydrogen bond component of the surface free energy of the layer X.

  • Publication number: 20230150250
    Abstract: A multilayered polyester film which comprises a polyester film and, disposed on at least one surface thereof, a layer X which has a contact angel HX(1) with water of 0-60°, wherein the layer X has a degree of crystallinity C(0) of 0-30%. HX(1): Contact angle at one second after water has come into contact with layer X. A polyester film having excellent recoverability is provided by disposing a layer X on at least one surface of a polyester film, the layer X having a regulated contact angle with water and a regulated degree of crystallinity.

  • Patent number: 10960597
    Abstract: A biaxially oriented thermoplastic resin film has at least one surface of which has protrusions each having a height of 1 nm or more and less than 2 nm at a density of 1×107 to 1×109 protrusions per mm2. The thermoplastic resin film is capable of suppressing generation of coarse protrusions and contaminants, and defects in a processing process while having slipperiness.
