  • Patent number: 5227233
    Abstract: A label comprising a polyethylene film in which the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness of the film and on one side of which printing is performed, and an adhesive layer further formed thereon. The label is good in clarity, is possible to perform back surface printing, can provide an integral feeling and a high-class feeling as if curved-surface printing is performed on a cylindrical container itself, is sufficient in rigidity and strength and therefore is possible to be thinly formed, is resistant to water wetting and contamination, is unnecessary to be stripped in recovering and recycling a polyethylene bottle when the label is stuck thereon, can be stuck on the bottle concurrently with blow molding of the bottle printed, and is therefore suitable for use as a label for in-molding.

  • Patent number: 5185203
    Abstract: Disclosed are a heat-sealable crosslinked oriented polyethylene film having low-temperature heat sealabilitiy which enables high-speed bag making, improved in antiblocking property and excellent in clarity and moistureproofness, comprising a crosslinked, biaxially oriented high density polyethylene film in which the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness of the film, and a heat sealing layer placed thereon, the heat sealing layer being composed of a tackifier and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing an antiblocking agent or composed of 1,2-polybutadiene containing an antiblocking agent, preferably further comprising a heat sealing layer free from an antiblocking agent placed between the biaxially oriented film and the heat sealing layer containing the antiblocking agent, and a process for the production of the same.

  • Patent number: 5045620
    Abstract: Disclosed are oriented polyethylene films having specific elongation and strength, which are excellent in linear tearability and clear tearability, suitably used for packaging and produced by longitudinally stretching a polyethylene resin sheet in which the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness thereof at a draw ratio of at least 5 times at a temperature of not higher than the melting point of a polyethylene resin forming the polyethylene resin sheet, and laterally stretching said sheet 4 to 8 times at a temperature ranging from above the melting point of the polyethylene resin up to 10.degree. C. higher than the melting point thereof.

  • Patent number: 4891173
    Abstract: A crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film superior in clarity as well as moistureproofness and having an improved stretchability is produced by a process for producing a crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film such that the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness of the film, comprising using a polyethylene having a density of at least 0.935 g/cm.sup.3, a melt index of 0.5 to 20 g/10 min and a high-load melt index to melt index ratio of 40 to 200.
