HEAT-SEALABLE ANTISTATIC POLYPROPYLENE FILM AND METHOD FOR ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

An oriented heat-sealable antistatic polypropylene film is manufactured by applying to one or both surfaces of a base polypropylene film, preferably by co-extrusion, a layer of a heat-sealable olefinic polymer (for example, a predominantly linear random copolymer of ethylene with butene-1) containing between 0.2 and 10% by weight of an anionic hydrocarbyl (preferably long chain alkyl) sulphonate. A slip agent, for example oleamide, may also be incorporated in the base polypropylene film. The antistatic film has improved heat-sealing properties which permits it to be run successfully on packaging machinery at high speeds.
