  • Patent number: 11633945
    Abstract: A shrinkable film capable of being overlapped and heat sealed, a preparation method for the film, and a packaging bag prepared using same, including outer surface layers and a heat sealing layer. Each outer surface layer includes a low-molecular weight compound and is subjected to electron cross-linking treatment, and the low-molecular weight compound is selected from paraffin, oleamide, stearic acid, and one or more of their derivatives. The low-molecular weight compound in each outer surface layer can, during overlapping and heat sealing, be migrated in a polymer under the action of being heated to influence movement of polymer molecular chains, and can be migrated to two molten interfaces to hinder mutual penetration of the polymer molecular chains. Further, by performing electronic cross-linking treatment on the outer surface layers, the outer surface layers form a polymer molecular chain cross-linking structure, and the movement of the polymer molecular chains is reduced.
