Abstract: A multilayer film is provided, wherein the multilayer film comprises at least one layer of a monolayer film, wherein the monolayer film is produced from a composition comprising a masterbatch composition and at least one polyolefin polymer, wherein the masterbatch composition comprises a polyolefin base resin, polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) pearls and a terpolymer of an olefin, an olefinic ester and an olefinic ether, and wherein the PMMA particles have an average particle size of 1-20 ?m. Also provided are methods for producing such multilayer films, and use of such multilayer films as a packaging material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a masterbatch composition which contains a polyolefin base resin, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) pearls and a further polymeric compound obtained at least from olefinic monomers, olefinic monomers containing an ester functionality and olefinic monomers containing an ether functionality, as well as to the masterbatches obtained from this composition. The present invention is further directed to monolayer as well as multilayer films which are made using the inventive masterbatches, their methods of production and the use of said films for packaging purposes.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a masterbatch for the production of biaxially oriented polyalkylene films which, based on the total amount, contains in a matrix of polyalkylene homopolymer or copolymer from 1 to 50% by weight of spherical solid silicate particles and optionally, from 0.1 to 15% by weight of a surface-modifying reagent which reacts with the surface of the silicate, thus improving the adherence between the silicate and the polyalkylene. The invention is also directed to a process for the production of such a masterbatch, its use in the production of biaxially oriented polyalkylene films, and to biaxially oriented, co-extruded multilayer polyalkylene films.
