Abstract

Provided is a polypropylene-based multilayer wrap film comprising (A) a surface layer containing a first composition comprising 50 to 80 wt. % of (S1) a crystalline polypropylene-based resin and 20 to 50 wt. % of (S2) at least one softener selected from amorphous or low-crystalline propylene-α-olefin copolymers and butene-1 polymers, and based on 100 parts by weight of the first composition, 5 to 15 parts by weight of (S3) a hydrogenated terpene resin and 10 to 20 parts by weight of (S4) an aliphatic hydrocarbon which is liquid at normal temperature, and (B) a core layer which is adjacent to the surface layer and contains 80 to 98 wt. % of (C1) a crystalline polypropylene-based resin and 2 to 20 wt. % of (C2) an aliphatic hydrocarbon which is liquid at normal temperature.

Claims (8)

1. A polypropylene-based multilayer wrap film comprising:

(A) a surface layer containing a first composition comprising 50 to 80 wt. % of (S1) a crystalline polypropylene-based resin and 20 to 50 wt. % of (S2) at least one softener selected from amorphous or low-crystalline propylene-α-olefin copolymers and butene-1 polymers, and based on 100 parts by weight of the first composition, 5 to 15 parts by weight of (S3) a hydrogenated terpene resin and 10 to 20 parts by weight of (S4) an aliphatic hydrocarbon which is liquid at normal temperature; and

(B) a core layer which is adjacent to the surface layer and contains 80 to 98 wt. of (C1) a crystalline polypropylene-based resin and 2 to 20 wt. % of (C2) an aliphatic hydrocarbon which is liquid at normal temperature.

2. The polypropylene-based multilayer wrap film of claim 1 , wherein at 23° C. and RH of 50%, a cling energy ranges from 1.0 to 3.0 mJ and a pulling-out force ranges from 200 to 1000 mN.

3. The polypropylene-based multilayer wrap film of claim 1 or 2 , wherein between before and after the wrap film wound around a paper tube is allowed to stand for 3 weeks at 40° C. and RH of 20%, a change in the cling energy falls within a range of −20 to +50% and a change in the pulling-out force falls within a range of −50 to +20%.

4. The polypropylene-based multilayer wrap film of claim 3 , which has a structure, when the surface of the film is observed as a phase image of an atomic force microscope at 40,000 magnifications, formed of a fibril network and a matrix existing therebetween, and the fibril has an average width of 1 nm or greater but not greater than 100 nm and has an average fibril-to-fibril distance of 3 nm or greater but not greater than 1 μm.

5. The polypropylene-based multilayer wrap film of claim 1 or 2 , which has been stretched at a stretching ratio of 2 or greater in the machine direction and/or transverse direction.

6. The polypropylene-based multilayer wrap film of claim 1 or 2 , having an overall thickness ranging from 3 to 25 μm.
