Abstract
Oriented polyolefin films are prepared with blends of a high crystalline polypropylene and an ethylene/propylene copolymer having less than 10%, by weight, of ethylene. These films, in a preferred embodiment, exhibit higher oxygen and moisture vapor transmission properties than do unmodified polypropylene. In addition, these films have low haze. This combination of properties make the films useful in modified atmosphere packaging applications for fresh produce and flowers.
