Polyethylene label and method of preparation thereof

Disclosed are a heat-sealable crosslinked oriented polyethylene film having low-temperature heat sealabilitiy which enables high-speed bag making, improved in antiblocking property and excellent in clarity and moistureproofness, comprising a crosslinked, biaxially oriented high density polyethylene film in which the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness of the film, and a heat sealing layer placed thereon, the heat sealing layer being composed of a tackifier and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing an antiblocking agent or composed of 1,2-polybutadiene containing an antiblocking agent, preferably further comprising a heat sealing layer free from an antiblocking agent placed between the biaxially oriented film and the heat sealing layer containing the antiblocking agent, and a process for the production of the same.

Heat-sealable crosslinked oriented polyethylene film and production

An oriented polyethylene film with an excellent moistureproofness and optical property is provided in which the degree of crosslinking is uniform or decreases inwardly across the thickness of the film, and which consists of a composition comprising (A) 50 to 90% by weight of polyethylene with a density of at least 0.935 g/cm.sup.3 and a high load melt index to melt index ratio of at most 100 and (B) 50 to 10% by weight of a petroleum resin or linear low density polyethylene.

Oriented polyethylene film

Disclosed are oriented polyethylene films having specific elongation and strength, which are excellent in linear tearability and clear tearability, suitably used for packaging and produced by longitudinally stretching a polyethylene resin sheet in which the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness thereof at a draw ratio of at least 5 times at a temperature of not higher than the melting point of a polyethylene resin forming the polyethylene resin sheet, and laterally stretching said sheet 4 to 8 times at a temperature ranging from above the melting point of the polyethylene resin up to 10.degree. C. higher than the melting point thereof.

Oriented polyethylene film and production thereof

A polyethylene composite film suitable for packaging, which is superior in moistureproofness, flex-o-crack resistance, tearability and heat-sealing property, is provided comprising an oriented polyethylene film such that the degree of cross-linking inwardly decreases across the thickness of the film and at least one lamination layer, provided on one side of the oriented polyethylene film consisting of a lamination material having a heat shrinkage of less than 5% at 120.degree. C.

Polyethylene composite film

A crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film superior in clarity as well as moistureproofness and having an improved stretchability is produced by a process for producing a crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film such that the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness of the film, comprising using a polyethylene having a density of at least 0.935 g/cm.sup.3, a melt index of 0.5 to 20 g/10 min and a high-load melt index to melt index ratio of 40 to 200.

Process for producing a crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film

An oriented film is prepared by crosslinking a sheet of HDPE to provide maximum crosslinking at the surfaces of the sheet and minimum orientation at its middle layer portion, and thereafter heating and stretching the film to obtain an oriented HDPE of high clarity film of improved moisture proof.

Differentially crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film

An oriented film is prepared by crosslinking a sheet of polyethylene (preferably HDPE) containing particulate inorganic slip and antiblock additions to provide maximum crosslinking at the surfaces of the sheet and minimum orientation at its middle layer portion, and thereafter heating and stretching the film to obtain an oriented HDPE of high clarity film of improved moisture proof.
