  • Publication number: 20140335293
    Abstract: A multilayer film is provided, including a layer sequence of a layer (a) of at least one low density polyethylene (LDPE) having a density in the range 0.915-0.930 g/cm3 or a mixture of LDPE with at least one other acyclic C2-C6 olefin polymer or copolymer, a layer (b) of a mixture of at least one low density polyethylene (LDPE) having a density in the range 0.915-0.930 g/cm3 and at least one cyclic olefin copolymer, and a layer (c) of at least one low density polyethylene having a density in the range 0.915-0.930 g/cm3 or a mixture of LDPE with at least one other acyclic C2-C6 olefin polymer or copolymer, such that the film's tear propagation force in both the machine direction and transverse to the machine direction is at most 1000 mN, per the Elmendorf test (per DIN EN ISO 6383-2).

  • Patent number: 8794269
    Abstract: A multilayer film that is impermeable to liquids and is to some extent permeable to UV radiation, optionally in the form of a tubular film, having a layer sequence of a layer (a) comprising at least one thermoplastic olefin homo- or copolymer, as one of the external layers, an adhesive-promoter layer (b), an internal layer (c) comprising at least one homo- and/or copolyamide, an adhesive-promoter layer (d), and a layer (e) comprising at least one homo- and/or copolyamide, as one of the external layers, wherein the VICAT softening point of the thermoplastic olefin homo- or copolymer of the layer (a) is at least 100° C., and the use of said multilayer film as internally situated tube of an insertion tube for the renovation of subterranean pipes, an insertion tube of this type, and a pipe-renovation system suitable for the renovation of subterranean pipes.
