  • Publication number: 20230302778
    Abstract: Methods and means for producing a stretch film comprising a slip skin layer are provided. In one example embodiment, a stretch film having a slip skin layer is provided having a variable and scalable coefficient of friction. A stretch film comprising a cling layer and a slip skin layer is also provided, in which the cling layer further with includes a polyethylene-based elastomer blended into a low density polyethylene, and the slip skin layer includes an ultra-high molecular weight polysiloxane polymer. Consequently, the slip skin layer has a very low coefficient of friction while the cling layer retains a relatively high co-efficient of friction.

  • Publication number: 20220275182
    Abstract: A stretch film incorporating a cling layer and a slip skin layer is provided, the cling layer comprising a 25% to 75% ethylene-based elastomer blend in a metallocene linear low density polyethylene and the slip skin layer comprising an ultra-high molecular weight polysiloxane polymer of between 5% and 10% by weight.

  • Patent number: 5998017
    Abstract: The present invention provides for improved polyolefin stretch wrap films having superior cling force, load retention, tear resistance and puncture resistance properties and for the methods of using those stretch wrap films. The stretch wrap films generally have a thickness of from about 0.4 to about 3 mils, a cling force onto itself of at least 140 g/inch, an F-50 dart drop strength of at least about 150 g/mil. The stretch wrap films are constructed in a multilayer fashion having at least one outside cling polyethylene copolymer layer containing a polyethylene resin preferably produced through metallocene catalyst technology.
