Abstract

A polyester laminate film comprising plural polyester layers, which comprises one surface layer comprising a polyester and a lubricant having an average particle size of 1-3 .mu.m in a proportion of 1-5 wt % and the other surface layer comprising a polyester wherein 5-15 mol % of the entire acid component is a dimer acid component, the polyester laminate film having a crystallization peak temperature of 80-120.degree. C. under temperature rise of the film The polyester laminate film of the present invention has a lower crystallization peak temperature when the film is under temperature rise, as compared to conventional polyethylene terephthalate. As a consequence, the film is free of whitening upon retorting, even after the film was subjected to remelting treatment and rapid cooling for noncrystallization and unorienting. Therefore, the film serves well as a laminate film for food containers and beverage cans that undergo retort sterilization. Inasmuch as the polyester layer on one surface contains a large amount of a lubricant and has releasing property, the film serves well as a laminate film for a metal plate, which is required to have releasing property from a mold during manuf…
