Abstract
Provided are heat sealing, barrier laminates including polyethylene. The laminates can be adhesiveless and fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams. They can exhibit improved, maintained, or desirable properties in comparison to existing laminate structures that are not fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams. The laminate comprises a multilayer film and an oriented film. The oriented film is thermally laminated to the outer layer of the multilayer film to provide the laminate.
Claims12
A laminate comprising:
- (a) a multilayer film comprising:
- (1) an outer layer comprising at least one of an anhydride-modified ethylene acrylate copolymer, anhydride-modified polyethylene, anhydride-modified ethylene vinyl acetate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethylene/acrylic acid ethylene copolymer, polyethylene/acrylate copolymer, or polyethylene elastomer/plastomer;
- (2) a barrier layer comprising an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer;
- (3) a sealant layer, wherein the sealant layer comprises at least 70 wt. % of a polymer having a highest peak melting temperature (Tm) of 108° C. or less;
- and
- (4) a tie layer between the barrier layer and the sealant layer;
- and
- (b) an oriented film thermally laminated to the outer layer of the multilayer film and comprising an ethylene-based polymer having a density from 0.900 to 0.970 g/cm3.
