Films

A multilayer machine direction oriented film comprising at least an (A) layer and (B) layer,

• wherein layer (A) layer comprises at least 50 wt % of a multimodal linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) having a density of 905 to 935 kg/m3 and an MFR2 of 0.01 to 20 g/10 min which comprises a lower molecular weight (LMW) component and a higher molecular weight (HMW) component;
• wherein said LMW component is an ethylene homopolymer and said HMW component is an ethylene polymer of ethylene with at least two C4-12 alpha olefins;
• wherein layer (B) comprises (i) at least 50 wt % of a multimodal LLDPE copolymer with one comonomer and (ii) a plastomer having a density of less than 905 kg/m3,
• wherein the multimodal LLDPE copolymer and the plastomer are separate components;
• and
• wherein said film is a stretched film which is uniaxially oriented in the machine direction (MD) in a draw ratio of at least 1:3 and has a film thickness of at least 40 microns after stretching and wherein said film does not comprise a layer in which more than 50 wt % of said layer comprises a polymer component having a melting point (Tm) of 100° C. or less.
