| Claim: | 1. An adhesive polyester film having an adhesive primer layer disposed on at least one side of a substrate polyester film, wherein: the substrate polyester film is a stretched film having linear tearability and formed of a mixed polyester resin containing polyethylene terephthalate and a modified polybutylene terephthalate; the adhesive primer layer contains a polyester resin (A) and a crosslinking agent component content of 0.1% by mass or less, and has a thickness of 0.5 μm or less; and the polyester resin (A) in the adhesive primer layer contains a polybasic acid component and an alcohol component, the polybasic acid component including 40 mol % or more of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and the alcohol component including 50 mol % or more of a diol, and the polyester resin (A) having an acid number of 20 to 60 mg KOH/g, a hydroxyl number of 30 to 150 mg KOH/g, an oligomer content of 2.0% by mass or less, and a number average molecular weight of 2000 to 5000. |
| Claim: | 2. The adhesive polyester film according to claim 1 , wherein in the polyester resin (A), a sum of the acid number and the hydroxyl number is 50 to 200 mg KOH/g. |
| Claim: | 3. The adhesive polyester film according to claim 1 , wherein in the polyester resin (A), a ratio of the hydroxyl number to the acid number, (hydroxyl number)/(acid number), is 2.0 to 5.0. |
| Claim: | 4. The adhesive polyester film according to claim 1 , wherein in the adhesive primer layer, a surface carboxylic acid concentration and a surface hydroxyl concentration are each 0.005 or more, and a surface primary amine concentration is 0.0061 or less. |
| Claim: | 5. The adhesive polyester film according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking agent component contained at the content of 0.1% by mass or less is a melamine compound. |
| Claim: | 6. The adhesive polyester film according to claim 1 , wherein the modified polybutylene terephthalate in the substrate film contains polybutylene terephthalate and polytetramethylene glycol. |
| Claim: | 7. A method for producing an adhesive polyester film, the method being a method for producing the adhesive polyester film according to claim 1 , wherein a coating layer is formed by applying an aqueous coating material composed of the polyester resin (A) to at least one side of the substrate polyester film before orientational crystallization, and then the substrate polyester film is orientationally crystallized by stretching in at least one direction and heat treating the substrate polyester film together with the coating layer. |
| Claim: | 8. The method for producing an adhesive polyester film according to claim 7 , wherein an oligomer removal treatment is performed. |
| Claim: | 9. A laminated film comprising the adhesive polyester film according to claim 1 . |
| Claim: | 10. The laminated film according to claim 9 , wherein the adhesive polyester film and another layer are made to adhere to each other through the intermediary of a polyurethane adhesive. |
| Claim: | 11. The laminated film according to claim 9 , wherein a laminate strength of the laminated film after a retorting treatment at 135° C. for 30 minutes is 200 g/15 mm width or more under either ordinary condition or water-wetted conditions. |
| Claim: | 12. A packaging bag wherein the bag is made of the laminated film according to claim 9 . |
| Claim: | 13. The packaging bag according to claim 12 , wherein the bag is made in such a way that the linear tearing direction of the laminated film coincides with an opening direction of the bag. |
