Abstract

A uniaxially heat-shrinkable, biaxially oriented, multilayer film having a polypropylene containing core layer and at least one high density polyethylene containing skin layer adjacent the core layer. The core layer contains isotactic polypropylene and a modifier which reduces the crystallization or crystallinity of the polypropylene by increasing chain imperfections or reducing isotacticity of the polypropylene resin. Examples of materials which are useful as modifiers include atactic polypropylene, syndiotactic polypropylene, ethylene-propylene-butene-1 terpolymer, polybutene-1, and linear low density polyethylene.
