  • Nonoriented stiff packaging film with superior tear properties
    Patent number: 7087314
    Abstract: A nonoriented film containing highly crystalline polypropylene, standard polypropylene and nucleating agents. The film has physical properties that are desirable for applications such as food wrappers and tampon overwrap, including good tearability, stiffness and memory. In addition, the nonoriented film is cost effective because the film achieves these physical properties without the step of stretching or orienting the film, as required for conventional polypropylene films used in food wrappers and tampon overwrap.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 10, 2004
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2006
    Assignee: Pliant Corporation
    Inventors: Nicholas F. Forte, Sharon L. Korp
