A readily-adhesive polyester film for optical applications that suppresses rainbow reflections under fluorescent lamps and has excellent adhesion to a hard coating layer and exhibits excellent adhesion at high temperatures and high humidities (resistance to humidity and heat) includes a biaxially-stretched polyester film and a coating layer that is stacked on at least one side of the polyester film and produced by applying to at least one side of the polyester film an aqueous coating liquid containing a resin composition including (A) an aqueous polyester resin and (B) at least one compound that is a water-soluble titanium chelate compound, a water-soluble titanium acylate compound, a water-soluble zirconium chelate compound or a water-soluble zirconium acylate compound as main components. The mixing ratio (A)/(B) is from 10/90 to 95/5 by weight. After that the coating is dried and then stretched in at least one direction.

Readily bondable polyester film optical use and laminated polyester film for optical use

A laminated polyester film in which a coating layer whose main constituent component is a water-soluble or water-dispersible resin is provided on at least one side of a polyester film, wherein the water resistance value of the film is at least 90%, the discoloration after melt molding is no more than 10, and the haze value change after heating is no more than 20%. Adhesion, water resistance, recoverability, and whitening resistance after heating are all excellent.

Laminated polyester film

A thermoplastic laminate film containing a thermoplastic substrate film and a layer formed from a resin composition containing a polyester graft copolymer (A) and a resin (B), the layer being formed on at least one side of the thermoplastic substrate film, the polyester graft copolymer (A) being obtained by grafting at least one polymerizable unsaturated monomer, which contains an acid anhydride having a double bond, to a hydrophobic polyester resin, and the resin (B) containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of a polyurethane resin, an acrylic resin and a vinyl resin. The adhesion improving layer of the inventive thermoplastic laminate film shows superior adhesion strength in a broad range of applications. Specifically, it is evident in an ink layer of printing ink, UV ink and the like; an adhesive layer in dry laminate and extrusion laminating; a thin film layer obtained by vacuum vapor deposition, electron beam vapor deposition, sputtering, ionic plating, CVD and plasma polymerization of metal or inorganic substance or oxides thereof; an oxygen moisture absorbent layer; an organic barrier layer; an ink jet image receiving layer and the like.

Thermoplastic laminate film

A radiation curable resin having at least two (meth)acryloyl groups at both terminal ends of a molecular chain which is obtained by reaction of (1) a polyester polyol and/or polycarbonate polyol, (2) a diisocyanate, (3) a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate containing a hydroxyl group therein, and optionally (4) a compound having at least two active hydrogens in the molecule is disclosed. The resin has at least two (meth)acryloyl groups at a terminal end of the molecular chain. The molecular weight of the resin is 1,000 to 50,000, the urethane bonding concentration is not more than 3,000 equivalent/10.sup.6 g and the (meth)acryloyl group concentration is 100 to 6,000 equivalent/10.sup.6 g. A radiation curable resin composition containing the resin and a precoated metal using the composition are also disclosed.
