摘要:
A multilayer film is prepared from a high impact strength polyethylene (HI polyethylene); a Ziegler Natta catalyzed polyethylene (Z/N polyethylene) and a high pressure low density polyethylene (LD polyethylene) with i) at least one skin layer consists essentially of HI polyethylene and ii) at least one core layer comprises a blend of Z/N polyethylene and said LD polyethylene. The HI polyethylene has a density of from 0.915 to about 0.930 g/cc and a normalized impact strength of at least about 300 g/mil. The amount of HI polyethylene is from about 30 to about 55 weight % (based on the combined weights of the HI+Z/N+LD polyethylenes). The films described herein are readily prepared on blown film equipment and provide an excellent balance of mechanical properties.
摘要:
Barrier films are prepared from a blend of two high density polyethylene blend components and a high performance organic nucleating agent. The two high density polyethylene blend components have substantially different melt indices. Large reductions in the moisture vapor transmission rate of the film are observed in the presence of the nucleating agent when the melt indices of the two blend components have a ratio of greater than 10/1. The resulting barrier films are suitable for the preparation of packaging for dry foods such as crackers and breakfast cereals.
