  • Patent number: 6828010
    Abstract: Provided is a laminated polyester film, in which a laminated layer comprising two types of polyester resins having different glass transition points from each other is formed on at least one side of a base polyester film wherein the two types of polyester resins are composed of a polyester resin (A) having a glass transition point of from 60° C. to 100° C., and a polyester resin (B) having a glass transition point of from 0° C. to 60° C. and the polyester resin (B) contains a specified component, and a dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonic acid metal base is set as a specified ratio of the entire dicarboxylic acid components in the polyester resins (A) and (B), satisfies adhesiveness to various types of coating materials which has conventionally been incompatible and, further, satisfies anti-blocking properties, transparency, scratch resistance and the other properties.

  • Patent number: 6652961
    Abstract: A biaxially oriented polyester film with a substantially non-crosslinked polymeric coating containing styrene and acrylate, wherein the coating is highly thermally stable with a primary onset temperature of greater than about 350C, having a glass transition temperature between about 0C and about 50C, having a solubility in a low molecular weight organic solvent, and having a surface energy of greater than about 35 dyne/cm and less than about 40 dyne/cm.

  • Patent number: 6610384
    Abstract: A laminated film for thermosensitive image transfer material, comprises a biaxially oriented polyester film including at least one surface thereof a laminated layer containing 50% by weight or more of a wax-based compound, wherein the laminated layer has island-like protrusions, wherein the island-like protrusions have stripe-like protrusions on their surfaces, and wherein a density of the island-like protrusions is 2 to 100 protrusions/100 &mgr;m2. Such laminated film for thermosensitive image transfer material has excellent hot sticking resistance even in a high energy-applied range, slidability, and printability that cannot be achieved conventionally.
