  • Patent number: 9296182
    Abstract: The invention relates to a blown film coextrusion process. The process involves extruding core contact layers through a die exit at a specified speed and cooling, orienting and crystallizing the multi-layer film formed at a specified deformation rate to form a the frost line is a specified distance from the die exit by withdrawing film at a take up speed. The core and core contact layers are of a film forming polymer composition comprising at least 90 wt % of ethylene based polymer. The ethylene based polymer of the core layer has an average density of ethylene based polymers equal to or higher than that of ethylene based polymer of the core contact layers. The invention specifically concerns the feature that the core layer composition contains a portion of and the composition of the core contact layers contains a portion of a linear polyethylene so as to make the core layer more resistant to deformation than the skin layers.

  • Patent number: 7560149
    Abstract: The invention relates to bags with a heat seal zone formed by a composition comprising an interpolymer of ethylene and an alpha-olefin having an MI of from 1.5 to 4.5 g/10 min, preferably from 1.7 to 3.5 g/10 min, and especially from 1.8 to 2.5 g/ 10 min, and a density of from 0.88 to 0.94 g/cm3, preferably from 0.91 to 0.93 g/cm3 and especially from 0.912 to 0.922 g/cm3,and a CDBI of at least 50%, preferably at least 55% and especially at least 60%, and less than 20 wt % of LDPL; and to uses of films for making such bags.
