Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multilayer stretch film comprising at least a first layer, wherein said first layer comprises a polyolefin resin. The film of this aspect of the disclosure further include at least a second layer, and a mechanochromic dye which may be in any or all layers of the film. Another aspect of the disclosure is a method of promoting optimal stretching of stretch film during a wrapping operation, which method comprises at least the following steps. A polyolefin resin is selected that has a given density. Selecting a mechanochromic dye based on its ability to agglomerate in an unstretched film made from the polyolefin resin having the given density, such that when the dye is included in the film, the unstretched film will exhibit a first color. Admixing the mechanochromic dye into a melt of the polyolefin resin. Forming a film from the admixture of the previous step.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of promoting optimal stretching of stretch film during a wrapping operation, which method comprises at least the following steps. First a resin suitable for making stretch films is selected. Then a dispersed agent is selected, preferably one which has a refractive index similar to the selected resin such that when a film is made comprising the resin and the dispersed agent, the film will appear somewhat clear. The dispersed agent is then mixed with the resin and a film is formed from the resin containing the dispersed agent. Finally, a load is manually wrapped using such film, wherein during wrapping, the film is stretched to a level where the film becomes more opaque.

Abstract: The instant invention provides polyethylene compositions having reduced plate out, and films made therefrom having reduced blooming. The polyethylene composition suitable for film applications according to the present invention comprises the melt blending product of: (a) an ethylene based polymer; (b) a first antioxidant system comprising one or more antioxidants selected from the group consisting of Octadecyl-3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionate; Pentaerythritol Tetrakis (3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate); and combinations thereof; (c) a second antioxidant system comprising a liquid phosphite corresponding to the formula [4-(2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenyl]x[2,4-bis(2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenyl]3-x phosphate, wherein x=0, 1, 2, 3, or combinations thereof; and (d) optionally one or more neutralizing agents.

Abstract: Disclosed are single-sided stretch cling films having a cling layer, a release layer, and a core layer. The core layer is located between the cling layer and the release layer. The ding layer includes a blend of an olefin block copolymer and an ethylene-based polymer. The present films exhibit improved cling force compared to using a random ethylene copolymer in the cling layer.
