PVC replacement film

A multilayer film comprising:

• a core layer of a metallocene catalyzed ULDPE polyolefin plastomer/ethylene copolymer blend;
• two exterior skin layers of a LLDPE/LDPE blend coextruded on either side of said core layer to form a multilayer film;
• said multilayer film having a machine direction stress at 5% elongation of about 70 g/cm to about 155 g/cm;
• and
• said multilayer film having a transverse direction stress at 5% elongation of about 125 g/cm to about 145 g/cm.

A method of making a multilayer film suitable for use as a substrate material for bandages, said method comprising the step of:

• blending a core composition of a metallocene catalyzed ULDPE polyolefin plastomer and a ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer;
• blending a skin composition of a LLDPE and a LDPE;
• and
• coextruding said core composition and said skin composition simultaneously through a slotted film casting die to form a multilayer film with a core layer and at least one skin layer.
