Abstract
Films consisting essentially of alpha-olefin polymers, such as normally solid polypropylene consisting essentially of recurring propylene units and having a substantial crystalline polypropylene content, and in particular isotactic polypropylene, are coated with a ketonic resin resulting from the polycondensation of aldehydes with ketones, which coating renders the films readily thermoweldable and/or impervious to gases, vapors and the like. The coated films are useful for the manufacture of containers, covers, small bags, vessels and in general for the manufacture of articles useful in the packaging industry.
Claims7
Bags and packaging articles formed of a heat-sealed film of normally solid polypropylene consisting essentially of recurring propylene units, having a substantial crystalline polypropylene content, said film being coated on at least one of its surfaces with a ketonic resin or with a mixture of a ketonic resin and at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl, acrylic and cellulose polymers.
A process for making bags and packaging articles which comprises applying directly to at least one surface of a polyolefin film or to at least one surface of a polyolefin film pretreated with a primar, a coating consisting of (A) a ketonic resin, or (B) a mixture of a ketonic resin with at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl, acrylic and cellulose polymers, and thereafter heat-sealing the coated film.
