Zusammenfassung:The present invention pertains to a multilayer blown film structure having a blended polypropylene layer and at least one polyethylene sealant layer. In particular, the invention relates to a multilayer blown film comprising a non-sealant layer made from a propylene-rich polypropylene polymer blended with at least one ethylene-rich ethylene interpolymer and a sealant layer made from at least one ethylene interpolymer, wherein the ethylene-rich ethylene interpolymer comprises ethylene interpolymerized with at least one other comonomer other than propylene. The novel multilayer film structure exhibits excellent interlayer adhesion (especially at the blended non-sealant/sealant interface when adjacent to one another) and toughness (e.g. excellent trouser tear) with acceptable optical properties and surprising sealing properties. The novel structure is preferably made using an air-quenched coextrusion fabrication technique and is particularly suited for use in making pouches for flowable materials, heavy-duty shipping sacks and overwrap films.
