The present invention relates to a multilayer structure at least an outer layer and an inner layer which contain a polypropylene resin as a main component, a barrier resin layer containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer as a main component, and a metal deposited layer containing aluminum as a main component; a packaging material for a retort therewith; a method for recovering the multilayer structure; and a recovered composition comprising a recovered material of the multilayer structure. There is provided a multilayer structure exhibiting excellent recyclability and excellent appearance, gas barrier ability and shading performance both before and after retorting treatment, and a packaging material for a retort therewith.

Provided is a polyolefin composition including a blend of recycled plastic material including polyproplyene and polyethylene, which is recovered from a waste plastic material derived from post-consumer and/or post-industrial waste; glass fibres; talc; at least one coupling agent; and at least one impact modifier. The polyolefin composition has a tensile modulus of at least 4 GPa, and an impact strength of at least 10 kJ/m.sup.2.

Provided is a system, process, and method for the recycling of waste plastics. The recycling system, process, and method may comprise sorting of comingled waste. The sorting of comingled waste may include sorting into, for example, like polymer groups or families of plastic materials. The recycling system, process, and method may comprise processing of a sorted waste, including processing of the sorted plastic waste. The processing of the sorted plastic waste may include grinding and mixing, a supercritical or subcritical fluid treatment and sterilization, and extrusion to create and provide a homogenous precursor plastics blend. The precursor plastics blend may then be further extruded and refined to remove water and other low molecular weight material, and may be customized with additives to provide a value-added recycled plastic material. The additives may include colorants, flame retardants, fillers, fiber, identifiers, and the like, and may be combined in a ratio with virgin plastics, to impart specific properties on the value-added recycled plastic material based on its subsequent use in remanufacture and tracking. One or more of the recycling steps or phases may provide at least one of speed, accuracy, or cleanliness and minimization of human contact with waste materials.

Disclosed are films including polypropylene impact copolymers for tarpaulin applications which can provide a combination of desired properties.

Provided are breathable films and a process for making breathable films. The breathable films comprise a filler and a polymer blend comprising a polyolefin and ethylene copolymer. The process for making the breathable films comprise extruding a polymer blend and a filler, forming a film from the extruded polymer blend and filler, and stretching the film to form a breathable film. The breathable films according to embodiments disclosed herein can exhibit increased WVTR values and can reduce filler dropping while providing improved micro-void uniformity.

Provided is a composition for a highly elastic extruded foam. The composition includes a peroxide-crosslinkable thermoplastic polymer, an organic peroxide, thermo-expandable microspheres, and a silane coupling agent.

The present invention provides coated films and articles formed from such films. In one aspect, a coated film comprises (a) a film and (b) a coating on an outer surface of the film comprising polyurethane and a plurality of [(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-modified silica particles. In some embodiments, the coated film is thermally resistant under the sealing conditions of ASTM 1921-98 over a temperature range of 80 C to 200 C, and/or has a gloss of 11 or less when measured at 45 in accordance with ASTM D2457.
