Abstract

A packaging film made of an at least monoaxially stretched, multi-layered plastic film comprised of at least up to 50% by weight of polyolefins and having a total thickness ≤18 μm, which has an expansion of up to a maximum of 1% at a tensile force of at least 3N per 25 mm width according to DIN EN ISO 527.3

Claims (24)

1. A packing film comprising an unembossed multilayer polymeric film having a total thickness ≤18 μm, which is oriented at least monoaxially in machine direction to an orientation ratio of at least 1:2, which comprises at least to an extent of 50 wt % polyethylenes (PE), polypropylenes (PP), their mixtures or copolymers,

which comprises a layer sequence of at least five layers composed of

a) a layer (a) as surface layer comprising a mixture of LDPE and MDPE or a mixture of LDPE, MDPE and PP,

b) an adhesion promoter layer (b),

c) a layer (c), based on a mixture of LDPE and MDPE or a mixture of LDPE, MDPE and PP or ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinyl alcohols, polyamides, copolyamides, polyesters and/or polyether-polyamide block copolymers,

d) an adhesion promoter layer (d), and

e) a layer e) as surface layer comprising a mixture of LDPE and MDPE or a mixture of LDPE, MDPE and PP,

and which has an elongation of up to at most 1% under a tensile force of at least 3 N per 25 mm width in accordance with DIN EN ISO 527-3 and has no embossed structure on its surface layers.

2. A packing film as claimed in claim 1 , consisting of the multilayer polymeric film.

3. A packing film as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymeric film in machine direction has an orientation ratio of at least 1:3.

4. A packing film as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymeric film comprises to an extent of at least 70 wt % polyethylenes (PE), polypropylenes (PP), their mixtures or copolymers.

5. A packing film as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the polymeric film consists to an extent of at least 70 wt. % of LDPE, MDPE, LLDPE, polypropylenes (PP), or a mixture of at least two of said polyolefins.

6. A packing film as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymeric film has at least one barrier layer against gasses, against fats and oils or against migration of low molecular mass organic compounds and/or against moisture.

7. A packing film as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the barrier layer of the polymeric film is made up of ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinyl alcohols, polyamides, copolyamides, polyesters and/or polyether-polyamide block copolymers.

8. A packing film as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the layer (a) further comprises fillers and auxiliaries, and

the layer (c) is a barrier layer based on a polyamide.

9. A packing film as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the barrier layer of the polymeric film is based on an aliphatic polyamide or (partially) aromatic copolyamide.

10. A packing film as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the unembossed polymeric film oriented in machine direction has a higher tear strength in machine direction than that transversely to the machine direction.

11. A packing film as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymeric film has a release coating on at least one of its surfaces.

12. A packaging produced from a packing film of claim 1 .

13. A packaging as claimed in claim 12 for individually packaged panty liners, sanitary towels or incontinence articles.

14. A packaging as claimed in claim 12 for individually packaged self-adhesive articles for single use.

15. A packaging as claimed in claim 14 for self-adhesive hygiene articles or incontinence articles.
