Abstract: An unbalanced polymeric film has a plurality of adjacent molecularly oriented layers. The first, second, and third layers are molecularly oriented, and are, respectively (1) polypropylene, (2) anhydride modified polypropylene and (3) a barrier layer of either ethylene vinyl alcohol or nylon or a blend of ethylene vinyl alcohol and nylon. A fourth layer is optionally oriented and serves as a heat sealable layer having good adhesion to the barrier layer. In a more sophisticated structure, the fourth layer is oriented and serves an adhesive layer between the barrier layer and a fifth sealant layer. The fifth layer is then optionally oriented. A process for making the films comprises heating the exterior surfaces of the two surface layers to a temperature between 10.degree. and 100.degree. F. below the respective heat sealing temperature of each of the respective surface layers, stretching the so-heated film, annealing the stretched film, and cooling the annealed film.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a film suitable for use in lamination under heat and pressure. A plurality of resins is co-extruded into concentric annuli, the inner annulus being a polyester type resin, and at least one of the outer annuli consisting of a polyolefin based resin. The co-extrusion is carried out as the extruding die is rotated about its axis. After quenching to form a multi-layer seamless tube, the tube is collapsed and heated to a temperature suitable for biaxial orientation. An air bubble is introduced into the heated tube to expand the diameter thereof and simultaneously orient the tube biaxially by molecular orientation. The biaxially oriented tube is cooled sufficiently to retain its molecular orientation, and is then collapsed. The tube is then heated to a shrinking temperature while under controlled restraint to achieve a predetermined dimension in amount of shrinkage in the film. Finally, the edges of the shrunk tube are slit to form a pair of flat films.
