Abstract

A process for simultaneously, biaxially orienting tubular ethylene polymer film by expansion and extension of the tube under particular conditions for heating the expanding tube, to give a heat shrinkable film. The heat shrinkable film has excellent heat shrinkability, shrinkage stress, transparency, heat sealability and impact resistance, and is very suited for use in shrink packaging.
