Abstract:
Multilayer tubes including an inner layer and a tie layer are described. The inner layer includes a fluorinated polymer, and has an inner surface defining an inner diameter of the multilayer tube and an outer surface separated from the inner surface by a thickness of the inner layer. The tie layer includes a functionalized styrene block copolymer and is disposed on the outer surface of the inner layer. When the multilayer tube further includes an outer layer, the multilayer tubes exhibit improved peel strength as compared to multilayer tubes including the inner layer and outer layer alone. Methods of manufacturing the multilayer tubes and articles comprising the multilayer tubes are also described.
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.
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 α-olefin copolymer
