First Claim
Patent Images
1. A multilayer, heat-shrinkable film, comprising:
- a. a bulk layer; and
b. a microlayer section comprising at least ten microlayers, at least one of said microlayers comprising a blend of two more polymers and having a composition that is different from at least one other microlayer;
wherein, each of said microlayers and said bulk layer have a thickness, the ratio of the thickness of any of said microlayers to the thickness of said bulk layer being at least 1;
2; and
wherein, said film has a total free shrink (ASTM D2732-03) of at least about 10% at 200°
F., and an Elmendorf Tear value (ASTM D1922-06a) of at least 30 grams/mil, as measured in at least one direction along a length or width dimension of said film.
