  • Patent number: 5571613
    Abstract: A coextruded, biaxially orientated film comprising a base layer, which comprises a polypropylene or a polypropylene mixture, and at least one top layer comprising olefinic polymers. The top layer comprises a combination of inorganic and/or organic particles and tertiary aliphatic amine of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 essentially is an at least partially unsaturated alkyl radical having at least 18 carbon atoms or an essentially completely saturated alkyl radical having 8 to 26 carbon atoms andR.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are identical or different and are R.sup.4 -CH.sub.2 OH, in which R.sup.4 is an essentially saturated C.sub.1-C.sub.6 -alkyl radical.The film is useful, for example, as a label or wrapping.

  • Patent number: 5554245
    Abstract: A sealable film is disclosed comprising (i) a base layer comprising polypropylene and a hydrocarbon resin and (ii) at least one top layer comprising (a) an ethylene/propylene copolymer having an ethylene content of not more than about 10% by weight, (b) a propylene/1-butene copolymer, (c) a propylene/ethylene/alpha-olefin terpolymer, or (d) a blend of two or more of (a), (b) and (c), wherein at least one of said base layer and said at least one top layer contains an anti-blocking agent or lubricant and wherein the top layer contains a hydrocarbon resin. The film possesses improved barrier properties with respect to permeability to water vapor and oxygen, and which at the same time exhibits favorable slip properties and low shrink values.

  • Patent number: 5498474
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer polypropylene film which comprises a base layer K, an interlayer Z and an outer layer D in the structure KZD. The base layer includes propylene polymer or a propylene polymer mixture and filler. The interlayer includes a propylene polymer or a propylene polymer mixture and pigment. The outer layer is heat-sealable and contains a combination of inorganic and/or organic particles and a tertiary aliphatic amine of the formula I: ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is essentially an alkyl radical having at least 18 carbon atoms or an essentially fully saturated alkyl radical having 8 to 26 carbon atoms, andR.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are identical or different and are R.sup.4 -CH.sub.2 OH, in which R.sup.4 is an essentially saturated C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl radical.

  • Patent number: 5492757
    Abstract: The invention relates to an opaque, matte, multilayer polypropylene film having at least one matte surface which includes at least one base layer and at least one interlayer, and an outer layer applied to this interlayer. The base layer includes polypropylene and fillers. The interlayer includes a mixture or blend of two components I or II. Component I is a propylene homopolymer or a copolymer of .alpha.-olefins having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, or a terpolymer of .alpha.-olefins having 2 to 10 carbon atoms or a mixture or blend of said polymers. Component II is an HDPE or a blend of HDPE and a propylene homopolymer or a copolymer of .alpha.-olefins having 2 to 10 carbon atoms or a terpolymer having 2 to 10 carbon atoms. The outer layer essentially includes a propylene homopolymer or a copolymer of .alpha.-olefins having 2 to 10 carbon atoms or a terpolymer of .alpha.-olefins having 2 to 10 carbon atoms or a mixture or blend of said polymers.
