Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The instant invention provides a polyolefin composition suitable for sealant applications, sealant compositions, method of producing the same, and films and multilayer structures made therefrom. The polyolefin composition suitable for sealant applications according to the present invention comprises: an ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer composition having a Comonomer Distribution Constant (CDC) in the range of from 40 to 110, vinyl unsaturation of less than 0.1 vinyls per one thousand carbon atoms present in the backbone of the ethylene-based polymer composition; a zero shear viscosity ratio (ZSVR) in the range of from 1.01 to 2.0; a density in the range of from 0.908 to 0.922 g/cm 3 , a melt index (I 2 at 190° C./2.16 kg) in the range of from 0.5 to 5.0 g/10 minutes, a molecular weight distribution (defined as the weight average molecular weight divided by the number average molecular weight, M w /M n ) in the range of from 2.0 to 4.0, and tan delta at 0.1 radian/second, determined at 190° C., in the range of from 5 to 50.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A multilayer structure comprising: one or more film layers comprising a sealant composition comprising a polyolefin composition suitable for sealant applications comprising an ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer composition having a Comonomer Distribution Constant (CDC) in the range of from 40 to 110, vinyl unsaturation of less than 0.1 vinyls per one thousand carbon atoms present in the backbone of the ethylene-based polymer composition; a zero shear viscosity ratio (ZSVR) in the range of from 1.01 to 2.0; a density in the range of from 0.908 to 0.922 g/cm 3 , a melt index (I 2 at 190° C. /2.16 kg) in a range of from 0.5 to 5.0 g/10 minutes, a molecular weight distribution (M w /M n ) in the range of from 2.0 to 4.0, and tan delta at 0.1 radian/second and 190° C. in the range of from 5 to 50; and one or more layers selected from the group consisting of one or more polyamides, one or more polyesters, one or more polyolefins different from the sealant composition and combinations thereof. 2. The multilayer structure of claim 1 , wherein the sealant composition further comprises one or more ethylene polymers, or one or more propylene based polymers, or combinations thereof. 3. A food packaging device comprising the multilayer layer structure of claim 1 . 4. The multilayer structure of claim 1 , comprising a three-layer coextruded blown film comprising the one or more film layers of the sealant composition. 5. The multilayer structure of claim 4 , comprising a laminate of the three-layer coextruded blown film and a polymer substrate. 6. The multilayer structure of claim 5 , wherein the polymer substrate comprises a polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
