The invention relates to a hydroxyl-functional polyester containing a perfluoropolyether block prepared by a method comprising the following steps: a) subjecting a carboxyl-terminated perfluoropolyether C to a reaction with an epoxy-functional compound D, and b) subjecting the reaction product of step a) to a reaction with a lactone E. The polyester thus prepared can be used in a coating composition, comprising further (b) an OH-functional or epoxy-functional resin, and (c) a hardener comprising groups reactive to the OH or epoxy-functional groups of resin (b).

A polyester-resin-coated seamless can including a reduced diameter portion obtained by neck processing within a distance of 0% to 15% from a can body uppermost portion with respect to a total height of the can from the can body uppermost portion to a can bottom of the can. A ratio Im/Iu is 1.0 or more, where Iu (cps/μm) is calculated by dividing a maximum peak intensity in a range satisfying 15°≤2θ≤19° of an outer-surface coating in a maximum reduced diameter portion of the reduced diameter portion by a thickness of the coating at the measurement site, and Im (cps/μm) is calculated by dividing a maximum peak intensity in a range satisfying 15°≤2θ≤19° of outer-surface coating at a measurement site within a distance of 45% to 60% from the can body uppermost portion by a thickness of the outer-surface coating at the measurement site.

A polyol polymer is obtained from reactants including: a) a non-aromatic epoxy functional compound that includes at least 30 weight % of the total solids weight of the reactants; and b) an aromatic mono-carboxylic acid functional compound, or anhydride thereof, that is substantially free of non-aromatic ethylenic unsaturation. The polyol polymer has ester linkages and hydroxyl functional groups. Further, if the reactants further include an aromatic polycarboxylic acid, the aromatic polycarboxylic acid makes up less than 15 weight % of the total solids weight of the reactants. A coating composition is also prepared with the polyol polymer.

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.

The present specification relates to an optical film including a transparent film, and a coating layer on at least one surface of the transparent film, wherein the coating layer includes a polyester-based resin and a polyurethane-based resin, and is formed using a composition having a minimum film-forming temperature difference of 40° C. to 110° C. between the polyester-based resin and the polyurethane-based resin, and a polarizing plate including the same.

A polyester is formed by reacting a plurality of monomers. The monomers include 7 to 20 parts by mole of (a) aliphatic triol monomer, 40 to 80 parts by mole of (b) first diol monomer, 12 to 40 parts by mole of (c) second diol monomer, and 100 parts by mole of (d) aliphatic diacid monomer or aliphatic anhydride monomer. The (b) first diol monomer has a chemical structure of

##STR00001##

wherein each R.sup.1 is the same. The (c) second diol monomer has a chemical structure of

##STR00002##

wherein R.sup.6 is different from R.sup.7.
