  • Low temperature impact and puncture resistant polypropyene films layered films and bags therefrom
    Patent number: 4965109
    Abstract: Thermoplastic films and bag structures having improved low temperature impact and puncture resistance properties and high resistance to heat comprise a film layer comprising a blend of polypropylene and a material selected from polyisobutylene, very low density polyethylene, polybutylene, and ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer, and mixtures thereof. The films and bag structures preferably have an outer film layer of a resin material having a melt temperature which is higher than that of the other film layer. The outer film layer material is preferably a polyester or a polyamide. The films and bag structures are particularly suitable for use as frozen food storage containers and for subsequent heating and/or cooking of food therein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 1988
    Date of Patent: October 23, 1990
    Assignee: First Brands Corporation

  • Multilayer food wrap with cling
    Patent number: 4612221
    Abstract: A multilayer film food wrap having outer layers of a polyolefin resin including a cling agent, and a core layer of a resin having a high melting point, resistance to heat, low permeability to oxygen, moisture and odor, and film toughness. Methods of preparing the film and fabricating the film into a bag are also disclosed.
