BIAXIALLY ORIENTED POLYACTIC ACID FILM WITH REDUCED NOISE LEVEL

摘要

Described are biaxially oriented polylactic acid (BOPLA) films with a novel formulation that exhibits a softer feel and quieter sound, without jeopardizing film making stability. The films can be used, for example, in packaging applications. The films can be metallized, or combined with barrier coatings or layers, for improved gas barrier properties particularly for moisture vapor transmission barrier desired in packaging applications. The films can also be printing films for packaging applications and may be transparent or matte in appearance. The films have characteristics that are beneficial to converting processes, are economical, and maintain bio-compostability similar to typical BOPLA films.
