Abstract
A plastic container closure, such as a bottle cap liner or tamper evident seal, is formed from a coextruded multilayer foamed film. The coextruded multilayer foamed film has at least one solid film layer of a first polyolefin blend containing linear low density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, and, optionally high density polyethylene, and at least one foamed layer of a second polyolefin blend containing linear low density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, and optionally ethylene vinyl acetate. The multilayer foamed film may be coextruded using a blown film or cast film extrusion process under defined conditions. the coextruded multilayer foamed film may be laminated to other materials such as polyester film, thermoplastic adhesive films or metallic films and used as a plastic container closure, or may be applied as a liner to a plastic bottle cap.
