Provided herein are monolayer films, and also multilayer films comprising a core, a subskin disposed on the core, and a skin disposed on the subskin. The films may have an Elmendorf tear in MD greater than about 7.0 g/μm, a dart impact greater than about 6.0 g/μm, and a 1% secant modulus greater than about 200 MPa. In multilayer films, the core comprises a first polyethylene blend comprising an ethylene 1-hexene copolymer and a high density polyethylene composition in an amount between about 0 wt. % and about 40 wt. %. Further provided herein are bags and laminates comprising the present films.

Films made of polyethylene blends for improved bending stiffness and high MD tear resistance

The present disclosure provides oriented multilayer films including a first layer, a second layer disposed on the first layer and a third layer disposed on the second layer, where the first layer and the third layer include a polyethylene independently selected from (i) a polyethylene having a density of about 0.94 g/cc or greater; (ii) a polyethylene copolymer including ethylene and a C-Calpha-olefin and having a density 7 from about 0.927 g/cc to about 0.95 g/cc; or (iii) a mixture thereof, and at least one of the first layer or the third layer includes the polyethylene copolymer, the second layer includes a polyethylene composition having a density of about 0.91 g/cc or greater and the oriented multilayer film has a haze of about 10% or less and a 1% secant modulus in the direction of stretching of about 500 MPa or greater.

Oriented multilayer polyethylene films and laminates thereof

Provided are oriented films comprising linear low density polyethylene polymer and having improved balance of properties including improved machine direction tear strength. The oriented polymer film has at least one layer comprising 50 to 100 wt. % of an ethylene-based polymer. The MDO polymer film has a normalized MD Elmendorf Tear (ASTM D-1922) of at least 40 g/&#x3bc;m. In certain embodiments, the MDO polymer film surprisingly does not tear when MD Elmendorf Tear is measured according to ASTM D-1922.
