Abstract
A laminate film or sheet of crosslinked polyethylene resin has as an outer layer a resin layer comprising a copolymer of ethylene and an ethylenically unsaturated silane compound which has been crosslinked by the contact thereof with moisture and has a gel content of 5 percent or more, and possesses excellent processing stability during its lamination, almost no odor, and, simultaneously, heat resistance and heat sealability.
Claims8
A laminate film or sheet comprising a plurality of laminate layers selected from films or sheets of resins, foils or sheets of metals, paper, cellophane, fabric, glass in sheet or fibrous form and asbestos, in which at least one surface layer among said plurality of laminate layers comprises a heat sealable crosslinked polyethylene copolymer formed by copolymerizing ethylene monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated silane compound so that said copolymer contains about 0.001 to 5 percent by weight of said silane compound and then crosslinking the resultant copolymer by contact with moisture in the presence of a silanol condensation catalyst, whereby the crosslinked copolymer has a gel content of 5 percent or more.
In a laminate film or sheet composed of a plurality of laminate layers selected from films or sheets of resin, foils or sheets of metal, paper, cellophane, fabric, glass in sheet or fibrous form and asbestos,
- the improvement wherein at least one outer layer of said laminate comprises a heat sealable crosslinked ethylene copolymer formed by copolymerizing ethylene monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated silane compound so that said copolymer contains about 0.001 to 5 percent by weight of said silane compound and then crosslinking the resultant copolymer by contact with moisture in the presence of a silanol condensation catalyst, whereby the crosslinked copolymer has a gel content of 5% or more.
