The present disclosure is directed to a film formulation that resulted in a substantially non-migratory cold seal release film with improved blocking resistance. Specifically, the multilayered biaxially oriented polypropylene film can include a core layer of polypropylene homopolymer; a first outer layer on one side of the core layer that can be suitable for sealing, printing, or coating; and a second outer layer on the opposite side of the core layer that is a blocking resistant layer comprising thermoplastic polymers which reduce blocking tendency.

Oriented polypropylene film with improved blocking resistance

Embodiments herein relates to a Bisphenol A-free multi-layer biaxially oriented polyester (BOPET) film, for lamination on metal sheets, which could be used for food containers. The BOPET film has at least one outer release layer, which aids in the release of food, such as a high protein food source, when food is cooked and sterilized in direct contact with the outer release layer. The BOPET film can be laminated to metals used in the manufacture of food containers with the outer release layer being exposed to allow a direct food contact between the surface of the outer release layer and food. More particularly, the invention relates to a novel outer release layer resin composition comprising an ultra high molecular weight siloxane polymer and a polyethylene trephthalate resin; and an alkali-metal phosphate and a phosphoric acid compound added, during polymerization of the outer release layer resin composition, as a catalyst/additive package to the ingredients forming the outer release layer resin composition. A wax component can be added in the outer release layer, for more robust release performance.

Composite film structures for packaging use. The composite film structures have easy open, clean peel and hermetic seal characteristics stemming from good caulkability characteristics when a region of the composite film structures are folded over and sealed to form a seal on a bag, pouch or package. The composite film structure includes a base film which includes a biaxially-oriented film and a vacuum-deposited metal layer and a heat-sealant structure comprising a low density polyethylene and a linear low density polyethylene. The metal layer is between the biaxially-oriented film and the heat-sealant structure. The heat-sealant structure thickness is from about 50 to about 100 gauge, the adhesion strength between the biaxially-oriented film and the metal layer is less than about 800 g/in, and the seal strength when a region of the composite film structure is folded onto a composite film structure region is from about 500 to about 1500 g/in.

Described are transparent oriented polypropylene films with improved barrier properties and methods of making these films. The films and methods include a core layer comprising polypropylene, hydrocarbon resin, and polyethylene wax to improve moisture vapor barrier properties, an optional barrier layer comprising polar polymers to improve oxygen barrier properties, and optional skin layers to improve heat sealing, winding, printing, and/or adhesion.

Transparent oriented polypropylene film with high moisture vapor and oxygen barrier properties

A laminate film including at least one bio-based polyester layer. The polyester layer has a radiocarbon (C) content of at least 21.5 pMC. The laminate film may further have additional layers such as a second bio-based polyester resin-containing layer of at least about 21.5 pMC radiocarbon content, a metal layer, or combinations thereof.

Biaxially oriented bio-based polyester films and laminates

A multi-layer biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film with a novel formulation which exhibits matte appearance is disclosed. This improved formulation comprises a blend of high density polyethylene (HDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) or linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with polypropylene (PP) used in the core layer to achieve a matte appearance low gloss PP-based film that still exhibits typical properties of BOPP films with significantly lower haze than conventional matte films. The multi-layer BOPP film has additional layers such as a second polyolefin resin-containing layer, a metal layer, or combinations thereof.

Biaxially oriented matte polypropylene film

A laminate film comprising a core layer comprising of a high crystalline propylene homopolymer blended with an amount of hydrocarbon resin; crystalline polyethylene wax; and a fluoropolymer and/or a metal oxide nanoparticle which exhibits excellent transparency and moisture vapor barrier properties. The laminate film could further have additional layers such as a second polyolefin resin-containing layer, or a heat-sealable polyolefin-containing layer, or combinations thereof.

Biaxially oriented polypropylene film with low moisture vapor transmission rate

Described are metallized biaxially oriented polylactic acid (BOPLA) films with a novel formulation that exhibits a softer feel and quieter sound, without jeopardizing film making stability. It has been found that when these films are metallized, moisture barrier properties are surprisingly improved compared to conventional metallized BOPLA films. Specifically, the moisture barrier of the films may be 2.0 g/m/day or less at 38&#xb0; C. and 90% relative humidity. The films can be used, for example, in packaging applications. The films have characteristics that are beneficial to converting processes, are economical, and maintain bio-compostability similar to typical BOPLA films.

Biaxially oriented polylactic acid film with reduced noise level and improved moisture barrier

A multilayer film including a first layer including a polylactic acid polymer, a second layer of a metal primer, deposited upon one surface of the first polylactic acid polymer layer, and a third metal layer deposited on the second metal primer layer. This metal-primed and metallized polylactic acid film exhibits improved moisture barrier properties versus a non-metal-primed and metallized polylactic acid film and can be used as part of a lamination structure for food packaging applications.

Biaxially oriented polylactic acid film with high barrier

Described are biaxially oriented polylactic acid (BOPLA) films with a novel formulation that exhibits a softer feel and quieter sound, without jeopardizing film making stability. The films can be used, for example, in packaging applications. The films can be metallized, or combined with barrier coatings or layers, for improved gas barrier properties particularly for moisture vapor transmission barrier desired in packaging applications. The films can also be printing films for packaging applications and may be transparent or matte in appearance. The films have characteristics that are beneficial to converting processes, are economical, and maintain bio-compostability similar to typical BOPLA films.

Biaxially oriented polylactic acid film with reduced noise level

A laminate film including a first polylactic acid layer; a second metal-receiving layer including PVOH, EVOH, or a blend thereof on a side of the first polylactic acid layer; and a metal layer deposited on a side of the metal-receiving layer opposite the polylactic acid layer. The metal-receiving layer may be coextruded with the polylactic acid first layer or may be a coating applied to one side of the polylactic acid first layer. This laminate film exhibits excellent gas and moisture barrier properties, appearance, and metal adhesion. It may also include a heat sealable or winding improving layer on the side opposite the metal receiving-layer of the first polylactic acid layer.
