A transparent, heat-sealable coating for transparent PET packaging foils can be provided by using a heat-sealable lacquer based on styrene-containing copolymers, on poly(meth)acrylates, on at least one polyester and optionally on a tackifier, and also the process for the sealing of a foil coated with this lacquer. It is surprising here that, despite the use of a rubber based on styrene-containing polymers that is not optically compatible with polyesters and polymethacrylate, the transparency of the heat-sealable coatings is still very high.

A coating composition comprises at least one solvent, at least one resin, and at least one filler, wherein the filler is silica-deficient, sodium-potassium alumina silicate. The silica-deficient filler may be a sodium-potassium alumina silicate that contains less than 0.1 percent by weight crystalline silica and is 5 percent by weight or less of the coating composition or 1 percent by weight or less of the coating composition. In the later instance, the coating composition contains less than 0.001 percent crystalline silica. The resin may comprise styrene, styrenic copolymers, or mixtures including styrene. The composition provides a temporary gloss coating that may be removed physically, as by peeling for example. A method for coating a substrate with a coating that maybe removed by physical means is also provided. The method comprises applying the disclosed coating composition.

A charging cable is provided. The charging cable includes wires for supplying power, a wire for transferring a signal and a sheath, and exhibits substantially improved mechanical properties such as low-temperature flexibility and abrasion resistance, substantially improved chemical properties such as oil resistance and substantially improved electrical properties such as insulation resistance. Moreover, the charging cable has improved electrical, mechanical and chemical properties by improving insulation resistance, heat resistance and low-temperature flexibility of wires, as compared to conventional wires coated with polyvinylchloride (PVC).
