HEAT-SHRINKABLE POLYETHYLENE FILMS

A heat-shrinkable film comprises at least one layer made from a polymer blend comprising a virgin first polymer composition and at least 20 wt % of a recycled second polymer composition. The first polymer composition comprises at least 50 wt % of a polymer (a1) of ethylene and at least one alpha ole...

Summary:A heat-shrinkable film comprises at least one layer made from a polymer blend comprising a virgin first polymer composition and at least 20 wt % of a recycled second polymer composition. The first polymer composition comprises at least 50 wt % of a polymer (a1) of ethylene and at least one alpha olefin having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, the polymer (a1) having a density from 0.918 to 0.945 g/cm3, a melt index from 0.1 to 2.5 g/10 min, a melt flow ratio from 25 to 80, a Compositional Distribution Breadth Index of at least 70%, and an averaged Modulus (M) from 20,000 to 60,000 psi. The second polymer composition is different from the first polymer composition, has a melt index (I2.16) from 0.1 to 2.5 g/10 min and comprises at least 30 wt % of an ethylene homopolymer (b1) having a density from 0.910 to 0.940 g/cm3.
