Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polyethylene composition which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about 1 mil has a machine direction (MD) 1% secant modulus of ≥200 MPa and an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of ≥600 cm 3 per 100 inch 2 per day and when made into a film layer having a thickness of about 2 mil has a seal initiation temperature (SIT) of ≤90° C. and an area of hot tack window (AHTW) of ≥160 Newtons·° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A polyethylene composition which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about 1 mil has a machine direction (MD) 1% secant modulus of ≥200 MPa and an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of ≥600 cm 3 per 100 inch 2 per day and when made into a film layer having a thickness of about 2 mil has a seal initiation temperature (SIT) of ≤90° C. and an area of hot tack window (AHTW) of ≥160 Newtons·° C. 2. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about 1 mil has a machine direction (MD) 1% secant modulus of ≥210 MPa. 3. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about 1 mil has a machine direction (MD) 1% secant modulus of ≥220 MPa. 4. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about of about 1 mil has an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of 625 cm 3 per 100 inch 2 per day. 5. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about of about 1 mil has an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of ≥650 cm 3 per 100 inch 2 per day. 6. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about of about 2 mil has a seal initiation temperature (SIT) of ≤85° C. 7. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about of about 2 mil has a seal initiation temperature (SIT) of ≤80° C. 8. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about of about 2 mil has an area of hot tack window (AHTW) of ≥170 Newtons·° C. 9. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about of about 2 mil has an area of hot tack window (AHTW) of ≥180 Newtons·° C. 10. The polyethylene composition of claim 1 , which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about of about 2 mil has an area of hot tack window (AHTW) of ≥190 Newtons·° C. 11. A polyethylene composition which when made into a film layer having a thickness of about 1 mil, and when made into a film having a thickness of about 2 mil, satisfies the following relationships: i) area of hot tack window (AHTW)>−2.0981 (machine direction (MD) 1% secant modulus)+564.28; ii) oxygen transmission rate (OTR)>−5.4297 (machine direction (MD) 1% secant modulus)+1767.8; and iii) seal initiation temperature (SIT)<0.366 (machine direction (MD) 1% secant modulus)+22.509; wherein the AHTW and SIT are measured on the film layer having a thickness of about 2 mil, and wherein the machine direction (MD) 1% secant modulus and the OTR are measured on the film layer having a thickness of about 1 mil.
