Abstract

Multilayer film with high tear propagation resistance of at least 300 mN for a total layer thickness of 45 μm, a shrinkage of ≤1% at 120° C. and release properties, comprising a layer (a) formed of at least one propylene copolymer and optionally at least one olefin homopolymer, at least one internal layer (b) formed of at least one olefin/alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymer, a layer (c) formed of at least one propylene copolymer and optionally at least one olefin homopolymer with optional adhesion layers (d) and (e) arranged between layers (a) and (b), and between layers (b) and (c) respectively.

Claims (18)

1. A multilayer protective release film for adhesive waterproof sheeting materials, with a tear propagation resistance of at least 300 mN measured by the Elmendorf method (ISO 6383-2) on a multilayer film of total thickness 45 μm and with ≤1% shrinkage in accordance with DIN 53377 for 1 min of residence time in the oil bath at 120° C. (in both MD and CD) with release properties, comprising

(a) a layer formed of at least propylene copolymer and optionally at least one olefin homopolymer

(b) at least one internal layer formed of at least one olefin/alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymer

(c) a layer formed of at least one propylene copolymer and optionally at least one olefin homopolymer and

optionally a layer (d) arranged between the layer (a) and the layer (b) and/or a layer (e) arranged between the layer (b) and the layer (c), as an adhesion-promoter layer,

wherein at least one of the surface layers of the multilayer film has, in order to provide release properties, a cured polysiloxane coating optionally with an embossed surface topography or an unembossed, uneven surface structure due to foaming.

2. The multilayer protective release film for adhesive waterproof sheeting materials as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer (a) and the layer (c) exhibit an identical layer structure, and optionally an identical layer thickness and/or an identical composition of the polymer components.

3. The multilayer protective release film for adhesive waterproof sheeting materials as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer (a) and the layer (c), being identical or different from one another, comprise at least one copolymer of propylene and of an α,β-unsaturated olefin.

4. The multilayer protective release film for adhesive waterproof sheeting materials as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer (a) and/or layer (c) is/are based on at least one propylene-ethylene copolymer having at most 15% by weight, based in each case on the total weight of the propylene/ethylene copolymer, of ethylene units.

5. The multilayer protective release film for adhesive waterproof sheeting materials as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer (a) and/or layer (c) comprises at most 15% by weight, based on the total weight of the layer (a) or layer (c), respectively, of at least one propylene homopolymer or ethylene homopolymer, whereby the polymer components of the layer (a) and the layer (c) in each case always must be 100% by weight.

6. The multilayer protective release film for adhesive waterproof sheeting materials as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer (b) is formed of at least one α,β-unsaturated olefin having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and a C 1 -C 6 -alkyl (meth)acrylate.

7. The multilayer protective release film for adhesive waterproof sheeting materials as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer (d) and/or layer (e) is based in each case on at least one modified, thermoplastic olefin homo- or copolymer.

8. The multilayer protective release film for adhesive waterproof sheeting materials as claimed in claim 1 , produced by a blown-film-co-extrusion process.

9. A removable release and/or protective film comprising the multilayer protective release film of claim 1 .

10. Adhesive or self-adhesive products comprising the removable release and/or protective film of claim 9 .

11. A removable release and/or protective film as claimed in claim 10 , wherein that product is a sealing composition, an adhesive tape or a label.

12. A removable release and/or protective film as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the sealing composition is an adhesive bitumen composition for a waterproof sealing sheet.

13. A waterproof sealing sheet with a multilayer protective film as claimed in claim 1 , as removable release and/or protective film.
