A film composition comprising from 5 to 75 percent by weight of an ethylene/&#x3b1;-olefin interpolymer composition (LLDPE), and from 25 to 95 percent by weight of a propylene/&#x3b1;-olefin interpolymer composition, and films made from the film composition, wherein the films exhibited synergistic physical properties, namely holding force and elastic recovery, are provided.

Film composition, film made from the film composition and a multi-layer film including the film and articles made therefrom

A multi-layer heat film having at least three layers is disclosed wherein the film has high optical properties, high stiffness and desirable shrinkage in the cross direction. The inner layer, or layers, comprises at least one stiffening polymer selected from the group consisting of: low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, blends thereof, polypropylene random copolymer, styrene/butadiene copolymer, polystyrene/butadiene copolymer, polystyrene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and cyclic-olefin copolymer, provided that when more than one inner layer is present, the inner layers can be the same or different. The skin layers, which may be the same or different, comprise at least one of: low density polyethylene; a blend of low density polyethylene and linear low density polyethylene; a blend of low density polyethylene and very low density polyethylene; polystyrene; ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer; a blend of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and linear low density polyethylene; cyclic-olefin copolymer; styrene-butadiene copolymer; or, polypropylene random copolymer, provided that the skin layers are devoid of a homogeneously branched polyethylene resin prepared with a single site catalyst. The inventive films have haze values of less than about 15%, a 2% secant modulus renter than about 50,000 psi and a cross directional shrinkage greater than 0%. The inventive films are made by a process that does not include post-extrusion bi-axial orientation.

High clarity, high stiffness films

An environmentally friendly polymer film pouch made from a polyethylene film structure for the packaging of flowable materials, for example milk, including, for example, a pouch made from a monolayer or multilayer film structure such as a two-layer or a three-layer coextruded film containing at least one layer of a blend of a substantially linear ethylene polymer or a homogeneously branched ethylene polymer and a high pressure low density polyethylene as a seal layer. Also disclosed is a process for making the pouch for packaging flowable materials using a film structure described hereinabove.

Pouches for packaging flowable materials

This invention relates to compositions comprising ethylene interplymers, such as a linear or substantially linear ethylene interpolymer and polydimethylsiloxane. The compositions have good abrasion resistance without sacrificing coefficient of friction.

Polydimethylsiloxane containing polymer blends

An environmentally friendly polymer film pouch made from a polyethylene film structure for the packaging of flowable materials, for example, milk. The film may be a monolayer or multilayer structure, such as two-layer or a three-layer coextruded film containing at least one layer of a blend of an ultra low density polyethylene and a high pressure low density polyethylene as a seal layer having high melt strength. Also disclosed is a process for making the pouch for packaging flowable materials using a film structure described hereinabove.
