Abstract

The present invention relates to a film comprising at least one layer which comprises a polymer composition comprising (a) a multimodal polymer of ethylene.

Claims (28)

1. A film comprising at least one layer which comprises a polymer composition comprising a multimodal polymer of ethylene with at least two different comonomers selected from alpha-olefins having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, which multimodal polymer of ethylene has a density of 910 to 935 kg/m 3 ,

wherein the polymer composition has:

hot tack temperature, i.e. lowest temperature to get maximum hot tack force, of less than 112° C., when determined according to ASTM F 1921-98 (2004), method B, and measured from a film sample (40 μm thickness) consisting of the polymer composition, and

maximum hot tack force, of 1.95 N or more, when determined according to ASTM F 1921-98 (2004), method B, and measured from a film sample (40 μm thickness) consisting of the polymer composition;

wherein the multimodal polymer of ethylene has a MFR 21 /MFR 2 of 13 to 35 (MFR 21 at 190° C. under 21.6 kg load).

2. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer composition has one or two of the following features:

the hot tack temperature is 80° C. or more to less than 112° C., and/or

the hot tack is up to 5.0 N.

3. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the multimodal polymer of ethylene has one or more, in any order:

a) MFR 2 of 0.5 to 10 g/10 min (according to ISO 1133 at 190° C. under 2.16 kg load), and/or

b) MWD of 5 or less.

4. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the multimodal polymer of ethylene comprises at least:

an ethylene polymer component (A) and

an ethylene polymer component (B),

wherein the MFR 2 of the ethylene polymer component (A) is different from the MFR 2 of the ethylene polymer component (B).

5. The film according to claim 4 , wherein a MFR 2 of ethylene polymer component (A) is higher than a MFR 2 of ethylene polymer component (B).

6. The film according to claim 4 , wherein a ratio of [an amount (mol %) of comonomers selected from alpha-olefins having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms present in ethylene polymer component (A)] to [an amount (mol %) of at least two comonomers selected from alpha-olefins having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms of the multimodal polymer of ethylene] is 0.2 to 0.6.

7. The film according to claim 4 , wherein an amount (mol %) of comonomers selected from alpha-olefins having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms present in the ethylene polymer component (A) is 0.03 to 5.0 mol %.

8. The film according to claim 4 , wherein a density of the ethylene polymer component (A) is 925 to 950 kg/m 3 .

9. The film according claim 1 , wherein the at least two comonomers selected from alpha-olefins having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms are 1-butene and 1-hexene.

10. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the multimodal polymer of ethylene is further multimodal with respect to comonomer type and/or comonomer content.

11. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the multimodal polymer of ethylene is further multimodal with respect to density.

12. The film according to claim 1 , wherein density of the multimodal polymer of ethylene is 915 to 930, kg/m 3 .

13. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the multimodal polymer of ethylene has MFR 21 /MFR 2 of 13 to 30.

14. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the multimodal polymer of ethylene is multimodal with respect to MFR, type of the comonomer, comonomer content and density.

15. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer composition has a tensile modulus in machine direction (MD) of 200 to 350 MPa, when determined according to ISO 527-1 and ISO 527-3 and measured from a film sample (40 μm thickness) consisting of the polymer composition.

16. The film according to claim 1 , wherein polymer composition has a shear thinning value SHI 2.7/210 of 1.5 to 7.

17. The film according to claim 1 , wherein the multimodal polymer of ethylene is produced using a single site catalyst.
