MULTI-LAYERED POLYETHYLENE FILMS ORIENTED IN THE MACHINE DIRECTION AND ARTICLES COMPRISING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17768886 titled 'MULTI-LAYERED POLYETHYLENE FILMS ORIENTED IN THE MACHINE DIRECTION AND ARTICLES COMPRISING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure provides for a machine direction oriented polyethylene (MDO-PE) film, a laminate comprising the MDO-PE film, and a method of forming the MDO-PE film. The MDO-PE film includes a core layer comprising a first ethylene-based polymer, a skin layer comprising a second ethylene-based polymer, and a sub-skin layer in-between and in contact with the core layer and the skin layer. Each value for the density, peak melting point, and percent crystallinity by weight increases from the core layer to the sub-skin layer and from the sub-skin layer to the skin layer. The MDO-PE film further includes predetermined values for a ratio of the percent crystallinity by weight of the core layer to the skin layer and a ratio of the peak melting point of the core layer to the skin layer. The MDO-PE film can be useful in food packaging, among other areas.
- Machine direction oriented polyethylene (MDO-PE) film
- Core layer, skin layer, and sub-skin layer with increasing density, peak melting point, and percent crystallinity by weight
- Ratios of percent crystallinity and peak melting point between core layer and skin layer
- Potential applications in food packaging
- Method of forming the MDO-PE film
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in food packaging due to its unique properties and structure.
Problems Solved
The MDO-PE film addresses the need for a specialized packaging material with specific characteristics for food packaging applications.
Benefits
The MDO-PE film offers improved packaging solutions with enhanced properties such as increased density, peak melting point, and percent crystallinity by weight.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be commercially applied in the food packaging industry to improve packaging efficiency and product preservation.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing patents or publications related to machine direction oriented films or polyethylene films with specific layer structures and properties.
Unanswered Questions
== What are the specific methods used to form the MDO-PE film? The abstract mentions a method of forming the MDO-PE film, but it does not provide detailed information on the specific techniques or processes involved in the formation.
== Are there any comparative studies or data showing the performance of the MDO-PE film compared to traditional packaging materials? The abstract highlights the unique properties of the MDO-PE film, but it does not mention any comparative studies or data demonstrating its performance advantages over conventional packaging materials.
