Label film
A label film is formed by means of extrusion and has a layer that forms the surface, on a first side, composed of polyethylene with a proportion of at least 70 wt.-%, preferably at least 85 wt.-% high-density polyethylene, wherein the film thickness amounts to less than 75 μm. According to the invention, the 60° reflectometer value on at least the first side of the label film, determined according to DIN 67 530, is greater than 80, preferably greater than 90.
1. A label film that is formed by means of extrusion and consisting entirely of polyethylene, except for additives and admixtures having a weight proportion of less than 15%, said label film having a layer formed on a surface on a first side, said layer being composed of polyethylene (mHDPE) produced with metallocene catalysts, with a proportion of at least 70 wt.-% high-density polyethylene, wherein the film thickness amounts to less than 75 μm, and wherein a 60° reflectometer value according to DIN 67 530 on at least the first side of the label film is greater than 85.
2. The label film according to claim 1 , wherein the entire film thickness amounts to between 62 μm and 71 μm.
3. The label film according to claim 1 , wherein the layer on the surface on the first side is pretreated by means of a corona discharge.
4. The label film according to claim 1 , wherein the film is produced by means of blown film co-extrusion.
5. The label film according to claim 1 , wherein a metallization is applied on one of the surface surfaces of the film.
6. The label film according to claim 1 , wherein an elongation at break amounts to at least 400%, in a production direction and in a transverse direction.
7. The label film according to claim 1 , wherein the label film is formed from polyethylene, by means of co-extrusion with cover layers composed of polyethylene that lie on the outside, wherein said layer on the first side forms one of the cover layers, and a core layer composed of polyethylene that lies on the inside, wherein the two cover layers each consist of at least 70 wt % high-density polyethylene.
8. The label film according to claim 7 , wherein the cover layers consist entirely of high-density polyethylene.
9. The label film according to claim 7 , wherein the cover layers are configured the same and border directly on the core layer.
10. The label film according to claim 7 , wherein the thickness of the two cover layers together, amounts to at least 50% of the total film thickness.
11. The label film according to claim 7 , wherein the cover layers and the core layer each have a thickness between 20 μm and 25 μm.
12. The label film according to claim 7 , wherein the cover layers and the core layer have a thickness ratio of 1:1:1.
13. The label film according to claim 7 , wherein the core layer that lies on the inside is formed from polyethylene having a density of less than 0.945 g/cm 3 .
14. The label film according to claim 13 , wherein the core layer that lies on the inside is formed from polyethylene having a density between 0.925 g/cm 3 and 0.935 g/cm 3 .
15. A label film that is formed by means of extrusion and consisting entirely of polyethylene, except for additives and admixtures having a weight proportion of less than 15%, said label film having a layer formed on a surface on a first side, said layer being composed of polyethylene (mHDPE) produced with metallocene catalysts, with a proportion of at least 70 wt.-% high-density polyethylene, wherein the film thickness amounts to less than 75 μm, and wherein a cloudiness determined according to ASTM D 1003 amounts to less than 25%.
