Oriented polyethylene film and production thereof.

摘要

Disclosed are oriented polyethylene films having specific elongation and strength, which are excellent in linear tearability and clear tearability, suitably used for packaging and produced by longitudinally stretching a polyethylene resin sheet in which the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness thereof at a draw ratio of at least 5 times at a temperature of not higher than the melting point of a polyethylene resin forming the polyethylene resin sheet, and laterally stretching said sheet 4 to 8 times at a temperature ranging from above the melting point of the polyethylene resin up to 10 DEG C higher than the melting point thereof.
