Collation shrinkage film having excellent clarity and superior toughness
Abstract
A multilayer film structure comprising at least three layers, wherein at least one layer comprises ethylene and at least one alpha-olefin is claimed, wherein the ethylene interpolymer is characterized as having an average M v and a valley temperature between the interpolymer and high crystalline fraction, T hc , such that the average M v for a fraction above T hc from ATREF divided by average M v of the whole polymer from ATREF (M hc /M hp ) is less then about 1.95 and wherein the interpolymer has a CDBI of less than 60%. The interpolymer of ethylene and at least one alpha-olefin can also be characterized as having a high density (HD) fraction and an overall density such that % HD fraction<0.0168x 2 −29.636x+13036 where x is the density in grams/cubic centimeter.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A multilayer film structure comprising at least three layers, wherein at least one layer comprises an interpolymer of ethylene and at least one alpha-olefin, characterized wherein the interpolymer has an average M v and a valley temperature between the interpolymer and high crystalline fraction, T hc , such that the average M v for a fraction above T hc from ATREF divided by average M v of the whole polymer from ATREF (M hc /M hp ) is less than about 1.95 and wherein the interpolymer has a CDBI of less than 60%.
2 . The film structure of claim 1 comprising a core layer and two skin layers, wherein the skin layers comprise the interpolymer, and wherein the core layer comprises LDPE.
3 . The film structure of claim 2 wherein the LDPE has a melt index of less than 1 g/10 minutes.
4 . The film structure of claim 2 wherein each skin layer further comprises another thermoplastic polymer.
5 . The film structure of claim 1 wherein said interpolymer has a CDBI of less than 55%.
