Claims20
A multilayer film comprising at least one first layer A and at least one second layer B, in which layers A and B have a mutual A/B/A arrangement, wherein the layer A and layer B are different from each other, in which layer A comprises an aliphatic and/or aliphatic-aromatic biodegradable polyester or a polyvinyl alcohol or copolymers thereof and in which layer B comprises:
- i)30-95% by weight, with respect to the sum of components i-v, of at least one polyester comprising:
- a) a dicarboxylic component containing with respect to the total dicarboxylic component:
- a1) 35-70% by moles of units deriving from at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid,
- a2) 65-30% by moles of units deriving from at least one saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, and
- a3) 0-5% by moles of units deriving from at least one unsaturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid;
- and
- b) a diol component comprising with respect to the total diol component:
- b1) 95-100% by moles of units deriving from at least one saturated aliphatic diol, and
- 2) 0-5% by moles of units deriving from at least one unsaturated aliphatic diol;
- ii) 0.1-50% by weight, with respect to the sum of components i-v, of at least one polymer of natural origin;
- iii) 1-40% by weight, with respect to the sum of components i-v, of at least one polyhydroxy alkanoate;
- iv) 0-15% by weight, with respect to the sum of components i-v, of at least one inorganic filler;
- and
- v) 0-5% by weight, with respect to the sum of components i.-v., of at least one cross-linking agent and/or chain extender comprising at least one compound having two and/or multiple functional groups including isocyanate, peroxide, carbodiimide, isocyanurate, oxazoline, epoxide, anhydride divinylether groups and mixtures thereof.
