Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to laminates comprising a uniaxially oriented first multilayer film comprising ethylene-based polymer, wherein the uniaxially oriented first multilayer film has a ratio of percent elongation at break in the cross direction to percent elongation at break in the machine direction of at least 2 to 1; and a biaxially oriented second multilayer film adhered to the uniaxially oriented first multilayer film and comprising an ethylene-based polymer, wherein the biaxially oriented second multilayer film has a ratio of percent elongation at break in the machine direction to percent elongation at break in the cross direction of at least 2 to 1.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a machine direction oriented polyethylene (MDO-PE) film, a laminate comprising the MDO-PE film and a method of forming the MDO-PE film. The MDO-PE film includes a core layer comprising a first ethylene-based polymer a skin layer comprising a second ethylene-based polymer and a sub-skin layer in-between and in contact with the core layer and the skin layer. Each value for the density, peak melting point and percent crystallinity by weight increases from the core layer to the sub-skin layer and from the sub-skin layer to the skin layer. The MDO-PE film further includes predetermined values for a ratio of the percent crystallinity by weight of the core layer to the skin layer and a ratio of the peak melting point of the core layer to the skin layer. The MDO-PE film can be useful in food package, among other areas.
