  • Publication number: 20230173787
    Abstract: Multi-layer films and labels are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a multi-layer film comprises a first skin layer, a first intermediate layer, a core layer, a second intermediate layer, and a second skin layer arranged sequentially, wherein the core layer has a thickness that is greater than thickness of the first or the second intermediate layers or the skin layer, wherein the core layer includes polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) particles disposed therein, wherein the amount of PBT particles ranges from about 5 to about 10 percent by weight (wt %), based on the total weight of the core layer, wherein the multi-layer film has a thickness ranging from about 25 microns to about 45 microns, wherein the core layer has a thickness ranging from about 20 microns to about 40 microns.

  • Patent number: 11247441
    Abstract: Multi-layer films and labels are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a multi-layer film includes a core layer, a first intermediate layer disposed on a first side of the core layer, a second intermediate layer disposed on a second side of the core layer, a first skin layer disposed on the first intermediate layer and arranged such that the first intermediate layer is disposed between the core layer and the first skin layer, and a second skin layer disposed on the second intermediate layer and arranged such that the second intermediate layer is disposed between the core layer and the second skin layer, wherein the core layer includes first particles in an amount ranging from about 8 to about 20 wt %, based on the total weight of the core layer, the opacity is about 90 or greater, and the gloss ranges from about 60 to less than about 80.

  • Patent number: 10022941
    Abstract: A heat-sealable polymer-based multilayer film having a low sealing initiation temperature, good haze, and low gloss for packaging applications. The film comprises a seal interlayer formed from a blend having a propylene-butene copolymer and a skin layer applied over the seal interlayer, with the seal interlayer being between the skin layer and the core layer.

  • Patent number: 9694564
    Abstract: A heat-sealable polymer-based multilayer film for peelable packaging comprising a polymer-based core layer having an interior-facing side and an exterior-facing side; a peelable intermediate layer on the interior-facing side of the core layer, the peelable layer having an interior-facing side and a core-facing side, and the peelable layer containing a peeling agent; and an interior skin layer on the interior-facing side of the peelable layer; wherein the core layer is polypropylene-based and contains a propylene-ethylene copolymer to impart puncture-resistance to the multilayer film.

  • Patent number: 9434138
    Abstract: A heat-sealable polymer-based multilayer film for peelably and releasably packaging pasty or fatty foods comprising a polymer-based core layer having a food-facing side and an exterior-facing side, a peelable layer on the food-facing side of the core layer, the peelable layer having a food-facing side and a core-facing side, and the peelable layer containing a peeling agent, and an interior skin layer on the food-facing side of the peelable layer, the interior skin layer having a food-facing side and a core-facing side. The core layer contains a release agent for diffusion toward the interior skin layer, and the release agent is present in the core layer in a quantity which is greater than the saturation capacity of peeling agent in the peelable layer for the release agent.
