  • Patent number: 11890840
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to laminates comprising a uniaxially oriented first multilayer film comprising ethylene-based polymer, wherein the uniaxially oriented first multilayer film has a ratio of percent elongation at break in the cross direction to percent elongation at break in the machine direction of at least 2 to 1; a biaxially oriented second multilayer film adhered to the uniaxially oriented first multilayer film and comprising an ethylene-based polymer, wherein the biaxially oriented second multilayer film has a ratio of percent elongation at break in the machine direction to percent elongation at break in the cross direction of at least 2 to 1; and a third film adhered to the biaxially oriented second multilayer film such that the biaxially oriented second multilayer film is disposed between the uniaxially oriented first multilayer film and the third film, wherein the third film comprises an ethylene-based polymer.

  • Publication number: 20220080709
    Abstract: A multilayer structure includes an oriented polyethylene film and a barrier layer disposed on at least one surface of the oriented polyethylene film. The oriented polyethylene film comprises at least one layer having a polymer blend of at least one ethylene-based polymer and at least one ethylene acid copolymer. The ethylene-based polymer has a density of 0.910 to 0.960 g/cm3 and a melt index (I2) of 0.3 to 10 g/10 mins. The ethylene acid copolymer is the polymerized reaction product of ethylene monomer, monomer selected from the group consisting of monocarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acids, anhydrides, and monoesters thereof, and optionally alkyl acrylate monomer. From 0 to 90 mol. % of total acid units of the ethylene acid copolymer may be neutralized with a neutralizing salt solution.

  • Patent number: 10343367
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a film (1), which contains at least one inner layer (3, 4, 5) and two outer layers (2, 6) enclosing at least one inner layer (3, 4, 5) where the, at least one, inner layer (3, 4, 5) contains a polymer A in a quantity from 70 to 100 wt. %, preferably 80 to 99 wt. % and especially preferably from 90 to 99 wt. %, relative to the total weight of the inner layer (3, 4, 5), which is characterized by special interesting properties, where the outer layers (2, 6) contain a mixture of polymer A and a polymer B, where polymer B is selected from the group consisting of low-density polyethylenes, said film (1) having a thickness from 30 to 70 ?m, preferably 35 to 60 ?m and especially 40 to 55 and an elastic restoring capacity of more than 95% at an elongation of 55%. The present invention also concerns a process for the production of a film, the use of the wealth. As a stretch-sleeve up film and articles provided with the oil of the invention, such as packaging.
