MULTILAYER HEAT SHRINK FILM COMPRISING ETHYLENE/VINYL ACETATE COPOLYMER AND VERY LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE POLYMER LAYERS

摘要

A multi-layer heat shrinkable film not confined to but including at least three layers, one outside layer being of a blend of EVA and VLDPE, the other outside layer being VLDPE or a blend of VLDPE and EVA and an internal layer being EVA or primarily EVA. Such a multi-layer heat shrink film has good resistance of abuse. The film may include the optional barrier film and optionally two of the two contiguous co-extruded layers can be irradiated prior to the third or further layers. Such a precursor is then stretched into the film thickness required. The invention covers the method of treatment of such a film and a container or package including such a film.
