The invention concerns a polyester film with improved abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, drawability and slip properties. The film is characterized by the fact that it contains 0.005 to 5.0% by weight of organic, preferably hardened or crosslinked, particles with narrow particle size distribution in a range between 0.01 and 5 microns, as well as a nucleating agent in an amount from 0.01 to 10% by weight, both values related to the weight of the polymers which form the film.

Polyester film

A process is described for the production of an oriented, heat-set polyester film including an admixture of polydiorganosiloxane in the amount of 0.001 to 2% by weight, as well as further additives, such as inert inorganic and/or organic particles. The thermoplastic material is melted in an extruder and extruded through an appropriate die to give a cast film, is then quenched, reheated, stretch oriented, and heat set. The characteristic criteria is the addition of the polydiorganosiloxane to the polydiorganosiloxane-free polyester in the form of a masterbatch.

Process for producing polyester film containing a slip agent

Polyester film having improved abrasion resistance manufactured from

A biaxially oriented and heat set film having improved abrasion resistance is described, whose distinguishing characteristics are that it has a density of more than 1.38 g/cm.sup.3 and that the following relationship exists between the orientation birefringence (.DELTA.n), the reduced specific viscosity (RSV), and the temper peak (Tp) of the film:

Biaxially oriented film having high scratch and abrasion resistance

This invention relates to a biaxially or multi-axially oriented, heat set film, which has on its surface numerous unevenesses, which comprise indentations around a protrusion. The protrusions comprise crosslinked or hardened organic particles having an average particle size of from 0.01 to 5.0 microns and having a narrow particle size distribution. The film surface has a mean surface roughness value Ra of from 0.005 to 0.10 micron.
