Abstract: The invention is directed to a composition suitable for use in a single-sided stretch cling film, the composition having from 0.1 to 20 percent by weight of a propylene-based copolymer having substantially isotactic propylene sequences, and having from 80 to 99 percent by weight of an ethylene-based copolymer having a density of at least 0.905 g/cc, wherein a film made from the composition exhibits cling layer to release layer cling of at least 70 grams force per inch as measured by ASTM D-5458-95, noise levels of less than 87 dB during unwinding operations, and has a modulus of at least 3 MPA as determined by ASTM D-882.

Abstract: The invention includes an interlayer film and composition comprising a polymer composition obtainable from (a) at least one low crystallinity propylene polymer, and at least one (b) internal adhesion enhancer, (c) at least one clarity enhancer or (d), more preferably, both (b) and (c). The invention also includes a process of preparing a film comprising (a) supplying at least one first component, a low crystallinity propylene polymer, (b) supplying at least one second component, selected from at least one an internal adhesion enhancer, at least one clarity enhancer or a combination thereof; and, (d) admixing the first and second components and optional additives.

Abstract: Multilayer films comprising three or more layers have improved properties for a variety of applications. The multilayer films often have a total thickness of from about 10 to about 50 microns. Blown multilayer film properties may include excellent cling with reduced unwinding noise levels. Cast multilayer film properties include improved elasticity, impact, puncture, and tear properties.

Abstract: Multi-layer elastic air quenched blown film structures are disclosed which include: a first layer incorporating a propylene-based copolymer and optionally, a linear low density polyethylene or a low density polyethylene; and at least one second layer incorporating a linear low density polyethylene copolymer and optionally, a propylene-based copolymer and/or a low density polyethylene. Alternatively the second layer of the film structures may contain an in-reactor blend of a substantially linear polyethylene (or a homogeneously branched linear polyethylene) and a linear low density polyethylene. The film structures show an excellent balance of Dart impact, Elmendorf tear (in both the machine direction and cross direction), elastic holding force and elastic recovery.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a composition suitable for high gloss air quenched blown films. The films are comprised of from 2 to 15 percent by weight of a substantially isotactic propylene-based copolymer having a melt flow rate of at least 5 g/10 minutes and having from 8 to 21 mole percent units derived from an alpha olefin; and from 85 to 98 percent by weight of an ethylene-based copolymer having a melt index of from 0.1 to 9 g/10 minutes. An air quenched blown film made from the inventive composition exhibits a value for gloss greater than the value for gloss exhibited by an air quenched blown film made solely from the ethylene-based copolymer.
