Plastic skin envelopes for glass bottles and the like

摘要

A method of producing a lightweight, strong, uniform, foamed layer containing tubular film with good opacity which can be heat-shrunk onto an annular substrate such as a glass bottle rapidly and uniformly is accomplished by co-extruding a low density polyethylene and a mixture of an ethylene polymer and a blowing agent under particular conditions and causing the blowing agent to decompose thereby foaming the ethylene polymer.
