Publication number: 20120219776Abstract: A multilayer film that includes at least three layers and is made up of a first layer, a second layer and a third layer, where the first layer is in between the second and third layers. The first layer contains a blend of a second polyolefin and interpolymer resin particles that include a styrenic polymer intercalated within a first polyolefin. The second layer directly contacts a surface of the first layer and includes a first thermoplastic resin. The third layer directly contacts a second surface of the first layer and includes a second thermoplastic resin. The first thermoplastic resin and second thermoplastic resin can be the same or different.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2012Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: NOVA CHEMICALS INC.Inventors: Eric Vignola, Daniel Purpura, Paul Tas, Jamie Marler
