A pigmented, heat-sealable coating composition for application to a primer-coated, oriented mono-layer or multi-layer polyolefin film is provided which comprises a blend of (a) a binding and oxygen barrier effective amount of a heat-sealable polyvinylidene chloride homopolymer and/or polyvinylidene chloride copolymer containing at least 50 weight percent copolymerized vinylidene chloride, (b) an amount of wax sufficient to result in a significant reduction in the coefficient of friction of a film to which the coating composition is applied and (c) an amount of pigment sufficient to result in a significant reduction in the light transmission property of a film to which the coating composition is applied.Oriented polyolefin films coated with the foregoing compositions possess excellent seal strength and hot tack properties, good blocking resistance, low coefficient of friction, low oxygen transmission rate and low light transmission. |
