Abstract

A process for producing porous films which comprises melting a resin composition consisting essentially of (1) 100 parts by weight of a high-pressure-processed low-density polyethylene resin having a melt index of 0.5 to 7 and a density of 0.915 to 0.935, a linear low-density polyethylene resin having a melt index of 0.5 to 8.5 and a density of 0.915 to 0.935, or a mixture thereof and (2) 50 to 500 parts by weight of barium sulfate having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 7 .mu.m; forming the molten resin composition into a film; and then stretching the film at least uniaxially by a factor of 1.5 to 7. As the linear low-density polyethylene resin, a copolymer of ethylene and hexene and/or octene is particularly preferred.
