Abstract:
Films especially suitable for the packaging of fresh foodstuff, like salad and vegetables, due to their valuable balance of high permeability to oxygen and optimal permeability to water vapour, comprising at least one layer A) and at least one layer B), wherein the layer A) comprises a copolymer of propylene with hexene-1 containing from 3 to 9% by weight of recurring units derived from hexene-1, said copolymer having a melting temperature from 125° C. to 143° C., and the layer B) comprises a polyolefin composition containing (all percentages being by weight): a) 10-40% of one or more propylene homopolymers or copolymers containing over 85% of propylene and having a fraction insoluble in xylene at room temperature greater than 80%; and b) 60-90 of one or more copolymers of ethylene with alpha-olefin(s), containing ethylene in a quantity from 20 to 80%, and having solubility in xylene at room temperature greater than 70%.
Abstract:
Polyolefin compositions comprising, all percentages being by weight: A)from 70 to 97% of a copolymer of propylene with hexene-1 containing from 3 to 9% by weight of recurring units derived from hexene-1, said copolymer having a melting temperature from 125°C to 143°C; B)from 3 to 30% of a butene-1 homopolymer or copolymer.
Abstract:
Polyolefin compositions, comprising (percent by weight): 1) 55-80% of a homopolymer or copolymer of propylene, said copolymer containing up to 15% of ethylene and/or C4-C10 -olefin(s). 2) 20-45% of a copolymer of ethylene with one or more C4-C10 -olefin(s) containing from 10 to 40% of said C4-C10 -olefin(s); said compositions having values of MFR (230 °C, 2.16 kg) up to 20 g/10 min, a total content of ethylene of 20% or more, a total content of C4-C10 -olefin(s) of 4.5% or more, a ratio of the total content of ethylene to the total content of C4-C10 -olefin(s) of 2.3 or more, a total fract ion soluble in xylene at room temperature of 18 wt% or higher and flexural modulus, referred to the composition as a reactor grade, of more than 700 MPa.
Abstract:
Mono-oriented film having a shrink rate at 100°C of at least 15% and at least one layer of which comprises a propylene copolymer with ethylene and optionally other olefins of formula CH2=CHR in which R is an alkyl group containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, having at least 5.5% wt of ethylene, a melt flow rate according to ISO 1133 (230°C, 2.16 Kg) of less than 10, and a fraction of polymer soluble in xylene at 25°C ranging from 14 to 30% weight based o the total weight of said copolymer. The said films are particularly suited for the manufacturing of shrink labels.
