Latest Patents
Jacobs holds a patent for a polyolefin film, tape, or yarn. The invention is directed to monoaxially drawn polyolefin multilayer film, tape, or yarn of the AB or ABA type, having a stretch ratio of more than 12 and an E-modulus of at least 10 GPa. The invention substantially consists of a central layer (B) of a polyolefin selected from polyethylene and polypropylene, along with one or two other layers (A) of a polyolefin from the same class as the material of the central layer (B). The melting point of the material of the other layers (A) is lower than that of the central layer (B). The central layer (B) constitutes between 50 and 99 wt. % of the material, while the other layers (A) make up between 1 and 50 wt. %. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a tape, film, or yarn.
