Abstract: Polypropylene films having a base layer of a propylene polymer with at least one matte outer layer of a blend of a polyether block polyamide, polypropylene, and polybutene-1, the polybutene-1 representing from 40 to 60 wt. % of the blend. Such films have shown good antistatic properties combined with particularly low heat seal thresholds compared with similar films without the polybutene-1 in the outer layer or layers.

Abstract: Multilayer polyolefin film having a core layer of a propylene polymer and an outer polyolefin layer on the core layer, the outer polyolefin layer including a coefficient of friction reducing amount of a particulate, partially cross-linked, polysiloxane. Non-cross-linked polysiloxane in the particulate polysiloxane is released when the particles are subjected to mechanical stress which causes the slip of the films to increase as they are placed under increasing mechanical stress.

Abstract: Multilayer polymeric film comprising a base layer of a propylene polymer, a non-voided intermediate layer on the base layer, and a heat sealable polymer layer on the intermediate layer, the non-voided intermediate layer having an internal cohesive strength less than the bond strength of the intermediate layer to either the base layer or the heat sealable layer and less than the internal cohesive strengths of either the base layer or the heat sealable layer. Such films enable peelable heat seals to be formed by rupture of the intermediate layer due to its lower internal cohesive strength compared with the core layer or the heat seal layer.
