Abstract: Disclosed are single and multi-layer films having low haze and low density properties, comprising at least one polymeric layer and at least one density reduction agent, wherein the film has a haze ?35% and a density (D) of at least 1% lower than the density of the polymer. The density reduction agent may be added to, for example, a core layer, one or more tie layers, or a core layer and one or more tie layers. Processes for the manufacture of these films, and the use of these films as labels and packaging products are disclosed.

Abstract: A biaxially oriented film structure comprising (I) a comparatively thick base layer of a thermoplastic resin containing: an antistatic combination of (a) a compound of the formula RN(R.sub.1).sub.2 wherein R is a C.sub.6 -C.sub.24 alkyl group; R.sub.1 is H (OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.n ; n=1-25; and (b) a monoester of an aliphatic C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 polyhydric alcohol and a C.sub.12 -C.sub.24 fatty acid; and optionally a slip improving proportion of (c) a C.sub.12 -C.sub.24 fatty amide; and (II) a comparatively thin surface layer on at least one surface of (I), said surface layer comprising a thermoplastic resin containing an anti-block and COF reducing proportion of a finely divided inorganic material. This structure can be laminated to another film such as a polymeric film or a paper film such as glassine.
