Abstract: Provided are laminates including polyethylene and an extruded web layer. The laminates can be adhesiveless and fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams. They can exhibit improved, maintained, or desirable properties in comparison to existing laminate structures that are not fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams. The laminate comprises a first film, an extruded web layer, and a second film, where the extruded web layer is between the first film and a lamination layer of the second film and the laminate is formed via extrusion lamination of the extruded web layer.

Abstract: Multilayer film embodiments are directed to films produced via thermal lamination without adhesive due to the use of tie layers comprising a blend of ethylene acrylate copolymer and an anhydride grafted ethylene ?-olefin copolymer.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process. In an embodiment, the process includes elongating a multilayer film to a impart a haze value greater than 30% to the multilayer film. The multilayer film has at least two layers: (A) a core layer composed of an ethylene/?-olefin multi-block copolymer and (B) a first skin layer in contact with the core layer, the skin layer composed of an ethylene-based polymer. The process includes releasing the elongating force from the elongated multilayer film to form a hazed multilayer film having a haze value greater than 30%. The process includes stretching the hazed multilayer film to form a stretched multilayer film having a clarity value greater than 80%. The process includes relaxing the stretch force from the stretched multilayer film to form a relaxed multilayer film having a haze value greater than 30%.

Abstract: Provided are heat sealing, barrier laminates including polyethylene. The laminates can be adhesiveless and fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams. They can exhibit improved, maintained, or desirable properties in comparison to existing laminate structures that are not fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams. The laminate comprises a multilayer film and an oriented film. The oriented film is thermally laminated to the outer layer of the multilayer film to provide the laminate.

Abstract: Provided are barrier laminates including polyethylene which offer heat resistance and a wide sealing window. The laminates can be fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams and can exhibit improved, maintained, or desirable properties in comparison to existing laminate structures that are not fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams. The laminate comprises a multilayer film, a polyethylene film, and an adhesive. The adhesive adheres the multilayer film to the polyethylene film to provide the laminate.

Abstract: Multilayer films comprising an outer layer, a sealant layer, and a tie layer positioned between the outer layer and the sealant layer are provided. The outer layer includes one or more of a first polyethylene having a density of greater than 0.945 g/cc and a polyethylene having a density of from 0.910 to 0.940 g/cc. The sealant layer includes one or more of at least one ethylene acid copolymer having from 0.1 to 10 wt % neutralized with a cation source, a polyethylene plastomer having a density below 0.910 g/cc, and an ethylene based polymer having a melting point Tm (DSC) of less than or equal to 108° C. The tie layer includes an adhesive resin selected from the group consisting of anhydride grafted ethylene based polymer, ethylene acid copolymer, and ethylene vinyl acetate.
