More Information
Summary:A polymeric composition is a blend of a first component comprising polypropylene, a second component comprising an ethylene-based copolymer, and a third component which may be an elastomeric polymer. The blends are useful in making single and plural layer sheet structures. Such a structure comprises a first layer (12) made from said blend and a second layer (14) of an abuse-resistant polymer such as polypropylene. Optionally, the structure includes further layers, e.g. a barrier layer to prevent or reduce gas infusion. The blend layer (12) can be employed as the means for making heat seals (28) between layers of the sheet structure to form a packaging pouch (30), and is able to withstand retorting conditions without becoming significantly embrittled.
