The present invention relates to a paper or paperboard comprising a polymeric coating, said polymeric coating comprising: a first coating layer attached to the paper or paperboard surface, said first coating layer comprising a blend of: a high density polyethylene (HDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE) or linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), or a mixture thereof, and a low density polyethylene (LDPE); and a second coating layer attached to the first coating layer, said second coating layer consisting essentially of a low density polyethylene (LDPE); wherein the first and second coating layers have a combined grammage of less than 12 g/m.sup.2. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a polyethylene (PE) coated paper or paperboard substrate.

The present invention provides uniaxially oriented films and packages formed from such films. In one aspect, a uniaxially oriented film comprises (a) a first layer including (i) a first composition including an ethylene-based polymer prepared in the presence of a single-site catalyst, wherein the first composition has a density of 0.935 g/cm.sup.3 to 0.965 g/cm.sup.3, a melt index (I2) of 0.5 to 6 g/10 minutes, and a MWD of 6.0 or less, and (ii) a Ziegler-Natta catalyzed ultra low density polyethylene having a density of 0.880 g/cm.sup.3 to 0.912 g/cm.sup.3, a melt index (I2) of 0.5 to 6 g/10 minutes, and a MWD of 6.0 or less, (b) a second layer including at least one polyolefin, and (c) at least one inner layer between the first layer and the second layer including a high density polyethylene. The film is oriented in the machine direction at a draw ratio of between 4:1 and 10:1, and can exhibit a machine direction 2% secant modulus of 85,000 psi or more when measured as per ASTM D882.

Liner having an induction heat sealable layer for sealing to a rim of a container, and a pull tab for ease of removal of the liner from the container rim. An insert is disposed between multilayer upper and lower components, has a heat bondable polyolefin layer that is thermally laminated to polyolefin layers of the upper and lower components, forming a pull tab between the integrated polyolefin layers. The resulting composite resists delamination and can be formed in a single thermal lamination step, avoiding the multiple lamination steps, associated high equipment costs, and complex layer constructions of the prior art.

Disclosed are compositions, methods, and uses for multi-layered films which are intended to provide high quality sealants having sufficient sealing strength for use in packaging and other applications while being more cost-effective and higher-yield than traditional combinations of unoriented polyolefin films and web materials. The film comprises a multilayer structure of LLDPE having a core layer, a surface skin layer, and a sealant skin layer. The core layer further comprises a slip agent, while the skin layers further comprise antiblock agents. Optional embodiments may include tie layers between the core layer and the skin layers, or may include pigments in one or more of the core layer or tie layers. The surface skin layer may be subjected to a surface treatment (e.g., corona treatment) to improve suitability for coating or metallization.

Woven irrigation tubing comprising 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.

The present disclosure relates to thermoplastics film, multi-film structures, and bags including enhanced physical properties. For example, one or more implementations include tailoring the physical properties of thermoplastic films by forming ribs using ring rolling in the films that extend at an angle relative to a direction in which the film is extruded (e.g., the machine direction). In other words, one or more implementations include films with a pattern of ribs extending at an acute angle to the predominate direction of molecular orientation of the thermoplastic film. The angled ribs increase the machine direction tear resistance of the thermoplastic film by intersecting any machine direction propagating tears and redirecting the tears towards the higher tear resistant transverse direction.

A method of producing a directly blow-formed container. The method includes subjecting a multilayered parison having an inner surface formed of an olefin resin to direct blow forming, the olefin resin containing (i) an organic bleeding lubricant having a melting point of not higher than 50° C. in an amount of 5 to 10% by mass, and (ii) a high silica zeolite having a silica/alumina mole ratio of not less than 80 in an amount of 0.2 to 3.0% by mass.

A sealant film including a polyolefin layer containing polyolefin as a main ingredient, and a polycycloolefin layer as an outermost layer containing polycycloolefin as a main ingredient. The polycycloolefin contains two or more kinds of structural units selected from a structural unit (A) derived from a dicyclopentadiene compound, a structural unit (B) derived from a tetracyclododecene compound, and a structural unit (C) derived from a norbornene compound, and the polycycloolefin has a glass transition temperature less than or equal to 80° C.

A film for use in the formation of a flexible package that has a first layer and a second layer that are laminated together to form a two layer laminate. The first layer is a base comprising polyethylene terephthalate, with at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface having a barrier layer disposed thereon. The second layer is a coextrusion having a core layer comprising an ethylene vinyl alcohol with an outer upper layer of a linear low density polyethylene and an outer lower layer of linear low density polyethylene.
