Abstract
According to the present specification there is disclosed a porous film having a number of throughholes extending from one side to the other side, obtained by molding into a sheet form a resin composition comprising an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer, a thermoplastic elastomer and an inorganic filler and then subjecting the sheet to stretching for orientation. Said porous film has excellent flexibility, stretchability and moisture permeability. These properties are made possible by using individual components in particular proportions, molding the resulting composition into a sheet form and then stretching the sheet to form fine throughholes therein so as to have a moisture permeability of 2,000 g/m.sup.2.24 hr or more.
