Described are methods for producing biaxially oriented thermoplastic crystallizable films, such as polyester terephthalate (PET) films, that are easy to handle, have at least one surface that can produce high quality finishes in In-Mold Decoration processes (IMD), and have anti-static properties. The static dissipation properties of the film facilitate the manufacture of IMD parts by reducing buildup of debris in the mold and reducing the risk of fire during processing.

A balloon formed from a lamination. The lamination includes a first layer, a second layer, a graphic design and a third layer. The first layer including from about 10 to about 90 wt. % crystalline polyester and from about 10 to about 90 wt. % of a formability enhancer to assist in increasing the polymeric chain flexibility. The formability enhancer has a melting point less than about 230 C. The first layer has a MD and a TD Young's Modulus of at least 10% lower than a crystalline polyester film in the absence of the formability enhancer. The second layer is a metallic barrier layer. The graphic design is printed onto a surface of the metallic barrier layer. The third layer is a sealant layer. The first layer is located between the second and third layers. The balloon contains a gas lighter than air.

A formable biaxially-oriented film includes a first layer. The first layer includes from about 10 to about 90 wt. % crystalline polyester and from about 10 to about 90 wt. % of a formability enhancer to assist in increasing the polymeric chain flexibility. The formability enhancer has a melting point less than about 230 C. The film has a MD and a TD Young's Modulus of at least 10% lower than a crystalline polyester film in the absence of the formability enhancer. The film may further include a second layer, which includes an amorphous copolyester. The second layer may be adjacent to or attached to the first layer.

A composite includes a multilayer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film having a base layer and an adjacent skin layer. The PET of the skin layer has inherent viscosity of about 0.70-0.90 and carboxyl endgroup concentration of less than 25 eq/T. The base layer can be affixed to a thin metal sheet. Optionally, the base layer of a second multilayer PET film with a skin layer inherent viscosity of about 0.70-0.90 and carboxyl endgroup concentration of less than 25 eq/T can be affixed to the opposite side of the metal sheet. The composite is suited for making food and chemical containers such as food storage cans that resist blush discoloration from steam contact during container formation and age degradation during extended storage of harsh chemical products.

A carrier film of thermoplastic polyester has releasable metal adhesive properties suitable for a metal transfer in which the polyester film is metalized and the metal layer is subsequently transferred to a permanent adhesive-coated substrate. The metal layer is in direct contact with the polyester carrier film and no intermediate release layer is present. Desired metal adhesion is provided by dispersing an suitable surfactant, and optionally, a hydrocarbon wax, uniformly into the polyester film. Surfactant on the outer surface of the carrier film modifies metal adhesion to the polyester such that the metal can be removed in a metal transfer operation.
