International Classification:
B32B 2732
US Classification:
428516, 428517
Abstract:
A multilayer film has a first outer layer, an inner layer, and a second outer layer. The first outer layer comprises a homogeneous ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer. The inner layer comprises a thermoplastic elastomer. The second outer layer comprises a second ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer. The inner layer is between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, and is chemically different from the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The multilayer film has an O -transmission rate of from about 500 to 50,000 cc/m 24 hr STP, and a modulus of at least 60,000 psi. The multilayer film is especially useful for the packaging of O -sensitive products, such as produce. The high modulus of the film enhances its performance in form-fill-and-seal operations.

Abstract:
A multilayer, biaxially oriented, heat shrinkable thermoplastic film includes a layer having between 50 and 100 parts by weight ethylene/alpha-olefin C. sub. 4 -C. sub. 12 copolymer, and between 0 and 50 parts by weight of a polymer selected from polyolefin, and modified polyolefin, the layer having more than one melting point when detected by diffential scanning calorimetry according to ASTM D-3418; wherein the total thickness variation in the multilayer film is lower than. +-. 10%, and wherein the average deviation of the multilayer film from a straight line is lower than. +-. 40 mm, and wherein the sag average of the multilayer film is lower than 25 mm. A method of making the film, and a package made with the film, are also disclosed.

The inner layer is between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, and is chemically different from the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The multilayer film has an O. sub. 2 -transmission rate of from about 500 to 50,000 cc/m. sup. 2 24hr STP, and a modulus of at least 60,000 psi. The multilayer film is especially useful for the packaging of O. sub. 2 -sensitive products, such as produce. The high modulus of the film enhances its performance in form-fill-and-seal operations.
