Abstract: A filmic label including a face material having a front side, a reverse side and an adhesive layer including pressure sensitive adhesive on the reverse side of the face material. The face material includes at least one surface layer on at least one side of at least one central layer. The at least one central layer includes cavities that have been initiated at initiation sites by stretching the face material in a longitudinal direction and in a cross direction. The cavities have been expanded in a thickness direction of the face material by allowing a gaseous substance to have an effect on the at least one central layer. Also a method for forming a plastic film for a filmic label.

Abstract: A polymer composition for extrusion coating with good process properties comprising a multimodal high density polyethylene (A) and a low density polyethylene.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-layer heat-sealable packaging material especially for food packages. In addition, objects of the invention are a food package formed of the said packaging material, a method of packaging, and the use of the material for packages. The packaging material (1) comprises a middle layer (3) of fibre material, such as cardboard; at least one polymeric protective layer (4, 5) protecting the product from going bad; and polymeric heat sealing layers (2, 7) preferably on both sides of the packaging material. According to the invention, the heat sealing layer (7) forming the inner surface of the closed package, is blended with light-absorbing pigment, such as carbon black, for protecting the product from visible light. By further blending white pigment, such as titanium dioxide, into the heat sealing layer (7), a grey tint resembling an aluminium foil has been achieved for the layer.

Abstract: This invention concerns a process for coating a substrate, and an extrusion coating structure. According to the present process, the coating is provided by producing a bimodal polyethylene composition by subjecting ethylene, optionally with hydrogen and/or comonomers to polymerization or copolymerization reactions in a multistage polymerization sequence of successive polymerization stages. The polymerization reactions are carried out in the presence of a single site catalyst capable of forming a composition which comprises a low molecular weight component with an MFR2 of 20 g/10 min or more and a density higher than the density of the composition, and a high molecular weight component, said composition having a melt flow rate MFR2 of 5 g/10 min or more and a density of 915–960 kg/m3. The composition is extruded on the substrate as such or by adding 10 wt-% or less, calculated from the total weight of the coating, of high pressure PE-LD by blending into the extrusion composition or by coextrusion.

Abstract: Extrusion coating structure in which at least one layer is made of a polymer composition comprising a multimodal ethylene polymer, which contains from 80 to 100% by weight of ethylene repeating u nits and from 0 to 20% by weight of C3-C10 alpha-olefin repeating units, has a density of between 0.920 and 0.960 kg/m3, and which is a blend of at least two different ethylene polymers.
