1. A film comprising a plurality of superimposed coextruded layers;
- said layers comprising a first layer and a second layer;
said first layer containing 10 to 30% by weight of the composition of the second layer; and
, said second layer containing 10 to 30% by weight of the composition of the first layer, wherein the first layer comprises 90 to 70% by weight polyolefin and 10 to 30% by weight vinylidene chloride copolymer; and
, the second layer comprises 10 to 30% by weight polyolefin and 90 to 70% by weight vinylidene chloride copolymer.

Abstract
Blends having improved adhesion to each other when coextruded into multilayer films, such films, film-packages such as pouches from such films, and methods for making and using the films and film-packages are disclosed and claimed. Improved adhesion between layers results from adjusting the components of the blends of the layers. In addition, improved adhesion between layers results from reducing the temperature of the chill roll in the cast coextrusion process.

- said layers comprising a first layer and a second layer;
- 3. A method for adhering a first layer to a second layer in a film comprising a plurality of superimposed layers, said method comprising adjusting the composition of said first layer so that it contains 10 to 30% by weight of the composition of the second layer, adjusting the composition of said second layer so that it contains 10 to 30% by weight of the composition of the first layer, and coextruding the said adjusted composition of the first layer and the said adjusted composition of the second layer to form the said film comprising a plurality of superimposed layers, wherein the adjusted composition of the first layer comprises 90 to 70% by weight polyolefin and 10 to 30% by weight vinylidene chloride copolymer and the adjusted composition of the second layer comprises 10 to 30% by weight polyolefin and 90 to 70% by weight vinylidene chloride copolymer.
