GAS BARRIER HEAT-SHRINKABLE FILM

摘要

A coextruded annealed gas-barrier heat-shrinkable packaging film suitable for flowpack or tray-lidding applications comprises a core EVOH layer (A), first and second outer polyolefin layers (B) and (C), and at least one inner layer (D) of a copolymer of propylene with butene and optionally also with ethylene, and is characterized by a maximum shrink force in the transverse direction £ 0.35 N/cm and by a residual shrink force in the range 0.11 to 0.22 N/cm. The film is obtained by coextrusion, optional irradiation, orientation and annealing at a temperature of from 70 to 90 °C.
