A polyester film that possesses both reduced gloss and reduced haze is achieved. The film includes at least one sub layer including talc and at least one core layer. The surface layer has a lower melting point temperature than the core layer.

Low gloss and low haze laminated polyester film including talc and method for preparing same

A co-extruded film including talc and a method for preparing the film includes a polyester resin containing talc. The films may be single layer films or multi-layered structures such as ABA or AB structured films. Multi-layered films have talc in at least the A layer of the multi-layered film. If talc is present in the B layer, the A layer preferably includes a greater percentage of talc relative to the percentage of talc present in said B layer. The method uses readily available, low cost talc as an additive to achieve a co-extruded polyester film having simultaneously reduced transparency and reduced gloss to provide a translucent polyester film.

A flame retardant polyester resin composition including polyester containing phosphorus, preferably about 0.05 to about 1.5 weight % based on the total weight of the composition, of at least one platy inorganic material. The composition provides excellent flame retardant and anti-dripping properties, especially to oriented polyester film formed from the composition. The polyester may include additional phosphorus that is covalently bonded to the polymer, or physically incorporated into the polyester such as by means of masterbatch.

A UVA stabilized polyethylene terephthalate overlamination film having a maximum peak absorption of about 380 nm, an approximate absorptive area % of <14% and a Visible Absorbance value of less than about 20%, coated with an adhesive layer to facilitate anchorage of the polyethylene terephthalate film to a secondary print substrate.
