Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide a non-chlorine polypropylene wrap film excellent in adhesion, transparency, heat resistance, flexibility, gas barrier properties, touch and cutting properties, and disclosed is a polypropylene wrap film, a multilayer film having a tensile modulus of 200 to 1,000 MPa, containing at least a surface layer and an inner layer having a gas barrier resin, and being stretched into a twice or more length in a machine direction and/or a transverse direction, wherein in its multilayer constitution, the surface layer is constituted by a composition comprising, for example, a mixture of a polypropylene resin, a softening agent, an adhering agent and a liquid adhering assistant at a suitable mixing ratio, and the inner layer is constituted, for example, by an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin.

Claims (9)

1. A polypropylene wrap film which is a multilayer film having: a surface layer comprising 99 to 20% by weight of a polypropylene resin, 1 to 80% by weight of a softening agent and, per 100 parts by weight of the sum of these components, 2 to 30 parts by weight of an adhering agent; and an inner layer comprising a gas barrier resin, and being stretched into a twice or more length in a machine direction and/or a transverse direction,

wherein said softening agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of an amorphous or low crystalline propylene-α-olefin copolymer and crystalline polybutene-1,

wherein said adhering agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydrogenated petroleum resin, a hydrogenated terpene resin, a hydrogenated rosin resin, liquid polybutene, liquid polyisobutylene and liquid butyl rubber,

wherein the surface layer contains a liquid adhering assistant in an amount of 0.01 to 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the sum of the polypropylene resin and the softening agent contained in the surface layer, and said liquid adhering assistant is at least one selected from the ground consisting of a mineral oil and a white mineral oil,

wherein the gas barrier resin of the inner layer is an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin, and

wherein the polypropylene wrap film has a degree of adhesion of from 0.7 to 4 cN.

2. The polypropylene wrap film according to claim 1 , which has a tensile modulus of 200 to 1,000 MPa.

3. The polypropylene wrap film according to claim 1 or 2 , having a total film thickness of from 3 to 25 μm.

4. The polypropylene wrap film according to claim 1 , which has a tensile modulus of 400 to 700 MPa.
