Disclosed is a polyamide-ionomer composition suitable for use in a backsheet in a photovoltaic module comprising a polymer component a polyamide and an anhydride ionomer comprising a copolymer of ethylene, an alpha, beta-unsaturated C.sub.3-C.sub.8 carboxylic acid and an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or derivative thereof selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, maleic anhydride, and a C.sub.1-C.sub.1 alkyl half ester of maleic acid, wherein the carboxylic acid functionalities present are at least partially neutralized to carboxylate salts of one or more alkali metal, transition metal, or alkaline earth metal cations; 0 to 20 weight % of pigment; and 0 to 40 weight % of filler; preferably wherein the combination of pigment and filler comprises 10 to 50 weight % of the composition; and 0 to 5 weight % of weatherability additives.

The invention relates to a shrink label. According to an embodiment the shrink label comprises an uniaxially oriented multilayer face film comprising skin layers including polyethylene polymer(s) and at least two cyclic polymers comprising different glass transition temperatures between 30 and 100° C. and the difference between the glass transition temperatures being between 5 and 60° C., and wherein the multilayer face film is seamed by a solvent. The invention further relates to a method for providing a shrink label, use of the shrink label, method for providing a shrink label and method for labelling.

In a first aspect, a multilayer film includes a holographic image layer, a first heat-shrinkable layer and a first adhesive layer between the holographic image layer and the first heat-shrinkable layer. In a second aspect, an authentication label includes a holographic image layer, a first heat-shrinkable layer, a first adhesive layer between the holographic image layer and the first heat-shrinkable layer, and a back adhesive layer.

A conformable and optionally elastic weather resistant, comfortable fabric provides wind and rain resistance, plus thermal insulation, along with moisture transfer through the fabric, by combining a hydrophobic and dense outer layer with a bulky absorbent middle layer and a thin hydrophobic inner layer, joined by stitching and optionally subsequently shrinking to bulk the structure and re-adjust the openings formed by stitching. The third hydrophobic layer may be omitted and substituted with hydrophobic underlap yarns formed during the stitching process. The method provides high conformability and optionally elastic fit or inelastic pre-adjustable body fit.

An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition contains: (A) an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer; (B) an antioxidant; and (C) a sorbic acid ester; wherein the sorbic acid ester (C) is present in an amount of 0.00001 to 10 ppm based on the weight of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition; wherein the weight ratio (B)/(C) of the antioxidant (B) to the sorbic acid ester (C) is 500 to 1,000,000. The resulting ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition is less susceptible to coloration.
