Abstract: This invention relates to novel blends containing crystalline polypropylene or propylene containing copolymer, low density polyethylene, hydrocarbon tackifying resin, and a fatty acid amide useful as extrusion coating compositions which provide coatings having good coatability and good heat sealability. These coated substrates then can be used in fabricating bags and other packaging applications. These extrusion coating compositions are a blend of a crystalline polypropylene, or propylene containing copolymer, low density polyethylene, hydrocarbon tackifying resin, and a fatty acid amide containing 16 to 40 carbon atoms.

Abstract: This invention relates to low density polyethylene extrusion coating compositions which provide coatings having good coatability and a broad heat seal range. The coated substrates can be used in fabricating bags and other packaging applications. These unique extrusion coatings are provided by a low density polyethylene having a density of 0.916 to 0.926, a melt index of 0.1 to 2.0 and a swell ratio of less than 1.5.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel blends containing degraded crystalline polypropylene or propylene containing copolymer useful as extrusion coating compositions which provide coatings having good coatability and good heat sealability. These coated substrates then can be used in fabricating bags and other packaging applications. Particularly, these coatings are a blend of a degraded crystalline polypropylene, or propylene containing copolymer, and low density polyethylene.
