Abstract

L'invention concerne un film de polyester à orientation biaxiale présentant une pliabilité (?) égale ou inférieure à 70 degrés, la pliabilité étant mesurée par pliage du film en deux au moyen d'un dispositif [gradient thermique] à une pression de 0,2 MPa, pendant 1 seconde, à température ambiante, et calcul du degré de pliure de la partie pliée au moyen de l'équation (1) suivante: 1. Equation 1 ? = 2sin-1(F/2L) dans laquelle F représente la longueur d'une ligne imaginaire reliant les deux extrémités du film plié en deux, et 2L représente la longueur totale du film plié. Ce film de polyester à orientation biaxiale peut servir de matériau d'emballage pour bonbons, caramels ou chocolats, du fait de ses qualités inhérentes en matière de propriétés mécaniques, d'aptitude à l'impression, de transparence, d'uniformité d'épaisseur, d'aptitude au découpage, d'absence de toxicité, et d'aptitude à la torsion.
