Abstract: A multilayer matte film is described. The film has a core layer and one or more matte layers on its surfaces. Additionally, each one or more matte layers may have a skin layer or layers contiguous to the matte layer. Use in packaging, labeling or imaging is contemplated.

Abstract: A multilayer polymeric film comprises:

Abstract: Multilayer metallized polyolefin film structures having improved barrier properties and reduced water vapor transmission and oxygen transmission properties are provided. The film structures include a polyolefin substrate having a first and second side, a metal layer adjacent to the first side of the substrate and substantially coextensive therewith and a coating layer adjacent to the metal layer and substantially coextensive therewith. The coating layer includes a coating selected from the group consisting of polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl alcohol and acrylic coating.

Abstract: A multilayer, oriented, polymeric film and the method for its manufacture are provided by the present invention. The film comprises a first and second skin layer, and a core layer comprising polypropylene, a polymeric modifier, e.g., isotactic polypropylene, and a hydrocarbon resin, e.g., a saturated alicyclic resin. The method for manufacturing the film of the present invention comprises steps of coextruding a first skin layer comprising a polymer, a core layer comprising polypropylene, a polymeric modifier, e.g., isotactic polypropylene, and a hydrocarbon resin, e.g., a saturated alicyclic resin, and a second skin layer comprising a polymer; stretching the film in the machine direction, e.g., at least about 5 times; and stretching the film in the transverse direction, e.g., from about 6 to about 10 times.

Abstract: An oriented film combination of (a) a base layer of polypropylene at least one surface of which comprises a maleic acid anhydride modified polypropylene; and (b) on at least one surface, a skin layer of an amorphous polyamide or a blend of an amorphous polyamide and a semicrystalline polyamide.

Abstract: A metallized oriented film combination having a propylene polymer substrate with a high density polyethylene skin layer on at least one side thereof and a thin metal layer deposited on the surface of the high density polyethylene.

Abstract: A metallized film combination of a polymer substrate at least one surface of which includes a maleic acid anhydride modified propylene homopolymer or copolymer, that at least one surface having a skin layer thereon of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and said skin layer having an aluminum layer directly thereon.
