Abstract
A heat-shrinkable multilayer film suitable for use in the packaging of a frozen poultry, includes a first outer layer comprising a blend of a propylene-ethylene copolymer having a high isotactic molecular structure with less than about 6% by weight ethylene and having a melt flow of from about 1.5 to about 18 decigrams per minute; a (butene-1)-ethylene copolymer having a high isotactic molecular structure with less than about 10% by weight being ethylene and having a melt flow of from about 0.1 to about 5.0 decigrams per minute, and a thermoplastic elastomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene-propylene copolymers and ethylene-propylene diene terpolymers, the ratio by weight of the propylene-ethylene copolymer to the (butene-1)-ethylene copolymer being from about 2:1 to about 1:2 and the thermoplastic elastomer being present from about 10% to about 50% by weight; at least one core layer capable of being biaxially oriented and heat shrinkable and comprising an extrudable adhesive; and a second outer layer comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene homopolymers and copolymers each having a highly branched molecular structure; the multilayer film be…
