Abstract

A multilayer biaxially oriented polypropylene film is disclosed which comprises at least three layers. The first layer is an outer layer comprising a first polymer which is a homopolymer polypropylene resin having a melting point of at least 155° C. The second layer is a core layer, having a melting point greater than 150° C. The core layer includes a blend comprising a second polymer which is a polypropylene homopolymer having a melting point of at least 155° C. and a third polymer having a melting point no greater than 145° C. The second polymer comprises from 20% to 80% by weight of the core layer while the third polymer comprises from 80% to 20% by weight of the core layer. The last required layer in the film is a sealant layer. The sealant layer comprises a fourth polymer having a melting point no greater than 145° C.
