ABSTRACT:
Biaxially oriented, heat-shrinkable film-making process and film with improved toughness and extrusion processibility are disclosed. The improved film comprises at least one layer of at least one substantially linear ethylene homopolymer or interpolymer, wherein the substantially linear ethylene polymer has an uniform branching distribution, and is also characterized as having essentially no linear polymer fraction, a single DSC melting peak, a density greater than about 0.85 g/cc, and a simple bubble film 1% secant modulus below 195,000 kPa. The biaxially oriented film is characterized as having a simple bubble shrinkage value of from about 18% to about 85% at 135.degree. C. and is useful in preparing heat-shrink bags for packaging food articles like poultry and fresh red meat.
