A multi-layer, thermoplastic film bi-axially oriented at a stretching ratio &#x2267; to about 3.0:1 in the machine direction and at a stretching ratio &#x2267; about 6.0:1 in the transverse direction, which film comprises a layer a) comprising at least 50 wt. % of a crystalline or partially crystalline co-polyamide characterized by a T&#x2266;100&#xb0; C. and at least one outer heat-sealing layer b) comprising a polyolefin, said film being further characterized in that it has a % free shrink at 100&#xb0; C.&#x2266;3 in each direction.

Biaxially oriented and heat-set multilayer thermoplastic film for packaging

A thermoformable, multilayer, co-extruded sheet comprising at least two separate foam polypropylene layers obtained by chemical foaming of two polyproplene resins having different flexural modulus, a &ldquo;high modulus&rdquo; polypropylene and a &ldquo;low modulus&rdquo; polypropylene. The presence of two different foam layers of polypropylene of different modulus allows obtaining a thermoformable sheet with the desired balance between thermoformability and stiffness.
