A laminated polypropylene-based film suitable for retort packaging having an exterior film, a barrier layer, and a sealing layer. The retort packaging film has a total composition including high levels of polyolefin-based polymers and polypropylene-based polymers such that the material can be processed efficiently in a polypropylene recycling process. Advantageously, the film retains the properties required to suitably withstand the retort process and produce a high-quality shelf-stable packaged product.

Woven irrigation tubing comprises a woven, extrusion coated & laminated tube formed of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) outer layer, a low density polyethylene (LDPE) middle layer and a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) inner layer. The finished tubing is treated for ultraviolet resistance. The tubing is tied off at a distal end with a proximal end connected to a pressurized irrigation source. Watering holes are created in the tubing at spaced intervals and the resulting water streams are directed into parallel plowed furrows. The tubing is completely recyclable. The tubing is formed by manufacturing tape for the woven outer tubing cover, stretching the tape along its length to strengthen it, weaving the outer layer from the tape, flattening the woven outer layer, extrusion coating each surface of the outer layer with LDPE, laminating the LLDPE inner layer to the LDPE, reversing and winding the tubing for storage and distribution.

A heat-shrink sleeve is provided for covering a pipe joint formed between two pipes that are coupled to one another to form a tube. The heat-shrink sleeve comprises a heat-shrinkable material that is configured to conform to the first and second pipes when heated to cover the pipe joint.

Disclosed are multilayer films which can provide desired performance suited to stretch hood applications.

This disclosure relates to ethylene interpolymer products comprising a Melt Flow-Intrinsic Viscosity Index value, MFIVI, of from ≥ 0.05 to ≤ 0.80; a first derivative of a melt flow distribution function, formula (I) at a loading of 4000 g, of from ≥ -1.85 to ≤-1.51; a sum of unsaturation, SUM.sup.U, from ≥ 0.047 to ≤ 0.100 unsaturations per 100 carbon atoms; and a residual catalytic metal of from ≥ 0.03 to ≤ 5 ppm of hafnium. Ethylene interpolymer products comprise at least two ethylene interpolymers. Ethylene interpolymer products are characterized by a melt index (I.sub.2) from 0.3 to 500 dg/minute, a density from 0.855 to 0.975 g/cc and from 0 to 25 mole percent of one or more a-olefins. Ethylene interpolymer products have polydispersity, M.sub.w/M.sub.n, from 1.7 to 25; and CDBI.sub.50 values from 1% to 98%. These ethylene interpolymer products have utility in flexible as well as rigid applications.

A rotomoulded product and a method of making a rotomoulded product via rotational moulding, the rotomoulded product including at least two layers of material that form a wall of the product, at least one of the layers including post-consumer recyclate (PCR), and at least one of the layers including virgin PE.

The invention relates to a peelable, transparent multilayered polyolefin film having a first cover layer I and a second sealable cover layer II. The cover layer I contains a mixture of propylene copolymers and/or propylene terpolymers and an ethylene-butylene copolymer and has a roughness of 0.1 to <2 μm. The second sealable cover layer II contains propylene homopolymers and propylene copolymers II having a seal initiation temperature of 105 to 135° C.

A polyethylene-based polymer composition suitable for use in a shrink film, the polyethylene-based polymer composition comprising a low density polyethylene having a density of from 0.917 g/cc to 0.935 g/cc and melt index, I.sub.2, of from 0.1 g/10 min to 5 g/10 min, a linear low density polyethylene having a density of from 0.900 g/cc to 0.965 g/cc and melt index, I.sub.2, of from 0.05 g/10 min to 15 g/10 min, or combinations thereof, a near-infrared absorbent material, and optionally, a medium density polyethylene, a high density polyethylene, or combinations thereof.

The present disclosure provides a process. In an embodiment, the process includes elongating a multilayer film to a impart a haze value greater than 30% to the multilayer film. The multilayer film has at least two layers: (A) a core layer composed of an ethylene/α-olefin multi-block copolymer and (B) a first skin layer in contact with the core layer, the skin layer composed of an ethylene-based polymer. The process includes releasing the elongating force from the elongated multilayer film to form a hazed multilayer film having a haze value greater than 30%. The process includes stretching the hazed multilayer film to form a stretched multilayer film having a clarity value greater than 80%. The process includes relaxing the stretch force from the stretched multilayer film to form a relaxed multilayer film having a haze value greater than 30%.
