Abstract: A transparent peelable polyester film is provided having a base layer (B) with first and second surfaces. A layer (C) is applied on the base layer (B). A heat-sealable layer (A), peelable to APET AND RPET, is applied on the opposing surface of the base layer (B). The heat-sealable and peelable outer layer (A) is formed from (a) from 85 to 99% by weight of polyester and (b) from 1 to 15% by weight of other substances. The polyester is formed from 25 to 95 mol % of units derived from at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid and from 5 to 75 mol % of units derived from at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, and the polyester includes at least 10 mol % of units derived from linear or branched diols having more than 2 and the layer (C) includes crosslinked acrylate and/or methacrylate-based copolymers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polyester film provided with a coating at least on one side, wherein the coating is the drying product of an aqueous dispersion, the composition of which comprises not only water but also at least one copolyester component and one silane component, where the copolyester component is formed to an extent of 3 to 35 mol % of a monomer unit bearing sulfonate groups, and is present in the dried coating in a proportion of 40-85% by weight, and the silane component bears vinyl groups or methacryloyl groups, and also alkoxy groups, and is present in the dried coating to an extent of 15-60% by weight. The invention further relates to a process for production thereof and to the use thereof.

Abstract: A transparent, peelable polyester film is provided with clarity greater than 80% including a biaxially oriented polyester film as base layer (B) and an offline coated heat-sealable outer layer (A) that is peelable relative to ready-meal APET or RPET trays. The heat-sealable and peelable outer layer (A) includes from 85 to 99 wt % polyester and from 1 to 15 wt % other substances, the polyester including of from 25 to 95 mol % of units derived from at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid and from 5 to 75 mol % of units derived from at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. The polyester incorporates at least 10 mol % of units derived from diols having more than 2 carbon atoms. The mass of the dry outer layer (A) is from 1 to 5 g/m2. Production processes for the foregoing film, and use thereof as scalable film for ready-meal trays is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transparent packaging for vacuum forming including a specific biaxially oriented thermoformable polyester foil as lower foil (A) and a specific biaxially oriented polyester foil as upper foil (B) that can be heat-sealed to the lower foil (A), and to a process for the production of such packing, and also use thereof.

Abstract: Coextruded, unstructured, transparent and thermoformable polyester films are provided including at least one base layer (B) made of a-PET and one heat-sealable outer layer (A). The heat-sealable outer layer (A) includes at least 80% by weight of polyester with from 25 to 95 mol % of units derived from at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid and 5 to 75 mol % of units derived from at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, along with aliphatic diols. The outer layer (A) also includes up to 0.4% by weight of inorganic or organic particles with median diameter d50 2.0 to 8.0 ?m. The thickness of the outer layer (A) is 10 to 100 ?m, and the thickness of the film is in the range 100 to 1500 ?m. The invention further relates to processes for producing the inventive film, and also to packaging for foods or other consumable products, such as trays.

Abstract: A thermoformed plastic package with integrated predetermined breaking points formed by discrete regions in the plastic matrix at which points the mechanical properties of the plastic have been modified by action of a laser beam.

Abstract: A laminated material having a latent inherent delamination potential which contains at least one layer comprising a thermoplastic, wherein the thermoplastic carries, at least on one side, a release layer of water-soluble or water-dispersible organic material. The material can be delaminated by a process of chopping the material and treating the material with water or steam. The laminated material is useful as, for example, a packaging material. The material can easily be delaminated into its individual layers, thus facilitating recycling of the materials.
