  • Patent number: 6033775
    Abstract: A film containing a first layer containing a propylene-based block copolymer (a) obtainable by forming 40 to 85% by weight of a propylene-ethylene copolymer portion (A) having a content of repeating unit derived from ethylene of 1.5 to 6.0% by weight in a first step, and then forming 15 to 60% by weight of a propylene-ethylene copolymer portion (B) having a content of repeating unit derived from ethylene of 7 to 17% by weight in a second step, the intrinsic viscosity of portion (B) being 2 to 5 dl/g, and the ratio of the intrinsic viscosity of portion (B) to the intrinsic viscosity of portion (A) being 0.5 to 1.8, and a second layer containing a polyethylene type resin (b) laminated on at least one surface of the first layer, has a good balance between heat resistance, flexibility, mechanical strength, transparency, cuttability, original-shape resuming property and other desirable properties, and is suitably used for wrapping materials such as foods.

  • Patent number: 5736260
    Abstract: A laminated film useful for packaging includes two outer layers and a core layer of a polypropylene resin interposed therebetween. Each of the outer layers includes (A) an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer having a density of less than 0.910 g/cm.sup.3 but not less than 0.870 g/cm.sup.3 and an ethylene content of at least 50 mol % and showing only one endothermic peak when analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), (B) an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer having a density of 0.910-0.935 g/cm.sup.3 and an ethylene content of at least 50 mol %, and (C) an anti-fogging agent. The density of (B) is greater by at least 0.008 g/cm.sup.3 than that of (A).

  • Patent number: 5462777
    Abstract: A wrapping multilayer film comprising at least 5 layers of(A) both the outermost layers each comprising an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer having an ethylene content of at least 50 mol %,(B) layers each comprising a propylene polymer and being disposed between the outermost layers (A), and(C) a layer comprising recycled resins and being disposed between the layers (B).

  • Patent number: 5460879
    Abstract: A laminate film for wrapping which comprises a layer comprising (A) an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer having a coefficient of variation of composition distribution (Cx) represented by equation shown below of 0.40 or less and having an ethylene content of 50 mol % or more and at least one layer of a different kind;Cx=.sigma./SCB.sub.avewherein .sigma. is a standard deviation of composition distribution (1/1000 C), and SCB.sub.ave is an average of the number of short chain branchings per 1000 C (1/1000 C).The film is safe and hygienic, less odorous and excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, softness, and low-temperature heat sealing properties and is therefore suitable to automatic wrapping, particularly stretch-wrapping.
